"Designs for Two Candelabras" is an anonymous 19th-century drawing of two elaborate candelabra designs, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The left design features a candelabra with five arms and a base adorned with winged figures, while the right design portrays a candelabra with a central figure of a winged male holding aloft a large cornucopia, likely representing an allegorical figure symbolizing abundance. These designs are likely for silver or bronze, and they reflect the intricate and decorative styles popular in the 19th century.
