The candelabra has a round ridged base with a toothed edge. It is ridged in concentric shallow steps to a baluster stem with horizontal ribbing. Two gilt bronze branches extend from stem with leaves and flower buds and support an oblong cut glass tray with a scalloped edge and carved underneath with a sunburst. From the tray hang 30 triangular prisms with one notched edge. Rising from the tray are two urn-shaped candle sockets in cut glass from which hang twelve flat octagonal beads and below them twelve oval faceted beads.
