Candlestick, early 20th century, Korea; candlestick on a round base transitioning into a two-baluster shaft terminating in a flat, round sleeve with a smaller one in the shape of a multi-petaled flower bud placed in the center; decorated with butterflies and flowers; from a pair other no. SKAZsz 2509; height 39.7 cm., A tall, slender metallic object with a warm golden color stands against a plain light gray background; its flared base is decorated with etched swirling patterns, the narrow stem rising with smooth, rounded contours to a shallow dish-like platform, above which a thin rod supports a stylized flower bud and, at the top, a symmetrical butterfly-shaped ornament with delicate etched wing patterns and curled antennae, all sharing the same golden hue with subtle variations in sheen and small darker areas from patina.
