Six identical rust colored iron wall-mounted candelabras in a vertical orientation with leaf and stem motif. Emerging out of the wall mount, which is a decorative disc encircled with lanceolate leaves, longer than they are wide and ending in a point, the stem pokes out hortizintally then goes upwards in a ninety degree angle. The stem then splits into five different branches which are topped with five electric candels that have multiple folded over leaves at their base. The branch in the center is a continuation of the main stem and is taller than the other four. The two branches on either side of the crowning branch splay outwards with branch and floral designs, creating an overall tulip shape. Many of the electric candels do not sit perfectly straight on the candelabra due to damaged to the latter.
