We know that this exquisite candlestick was created together with a toilet mirror that has not survived. It is made up of a number of elements different in shape and decoration that seem to be fixed on a common axis that rises from the stepped rectangular base. The combination of polished and blued steel with gilded elements create an original chromatic effect.
