Altar candlestick, The round candlestick rests on three four-sided, volute-shaped legs. The sides of the legs have sunken, punched fields and are adorned with acanthus leaves, a cord of shrinking pearls runs across the front of each leg, resting on a leaf curl. The legs are connected at the top by straight rods, hidden from view by a culot-like motif made up of leaves. Flower festoons depend on the upper curls of the volutes (one renewed on B). The trunk is made up of, successively, a bell-shaped, a vase-shaped and a baluster-shaped part. The convex lower edge of the bell shape is decorated
Altar candlestick, The round candlestick rests on three four-sided, volute-shaped legs. The sides of the legs have sunken, punched fields and are adorned with acanthus leaves, a cord of shrinking pearls runs across the front of each leg, resting on a leaf curl. The legs are connected at the top by straight rods, hidden from view by a culot-like motif made up of leaves. Flower festoons depend on the upper curls of the volutes (one renewed on B). The trunk is made up of, successively, a bell-shaped, a vase-shaped and a baluster-shaped part. The convex lower edge of the bell shape is decorated with alternating wide and narrow godrons. Above this section shows two layers of superimposed acanthus leaves on a punched ground. Bell and vase shape are separated by a multiple profiled connecting piece. The vase is divided into a lower and upper part, decorated in a similar way to the lower edge and the upper part of the bell shape. The baluster is almost entirely encased in acanthus leaves curling from above and is closed off at the top and bottom by profiled sections, built up from a constricted ring, a protruding edge decorated with godrons as on the other parts of the trunk, and again a constricted ring. The large chalice-shaped fat trap is also adorned with acanthus leaves on a punched soil. In the middle there is a large pin for the candle. The candle holder is driven, all other parts are cast. The trunk unscrews above the bell shape, there is engraved on both parts of A: III and on both parts of B: II, acanthus, ornament, Christiaan Warenberg (attributed to), Amsterdam, 1710, silver (metal), h cm × d cm × w 1213 gr
