Candle Holder, Chimney, and Bracket, before 1924
Wrought iron and glass , Bracket: 28.6 x 60.3 cm (11 1/4 x 23 3/4 in.)
General admission for children 17 years and under is always free
Wrought iron candle bracket with a glass chimney inside. The iron that makes up the bracket is very rusted and is shaped into a flowing design. On one side near the top of the bracket are two metal animal silhouettes. The one on the right has long ears and a bushy tail, so it is likely a rabbit. The other one is outlined in what appears to be the shape of a frog with a long piece extending out, and this is possibly meant to represent the tongue of a frog catching an insect. The other side has three rings attached to the bracket. The ring in the center is much larger than the other two rings.
