The removable floral candelabra section fits into the brass-mounted opening at the top of the figural base, transforming the piece from a single candlestick into an elaborate four-light candelabrum. The upper section is beautifully decorated with applied porcelain roses, leaves and foliage, complementing the floral decoration of the base.

Circa 1890–1914.
Features the under glaze blue crowned shield factory mark, mold number "1079", and a hand-scripted export mark reading "Germany" on the underside of the base and a handwritten number 87 on the base of one foot that indicates the artisan or painter that hand-painted the piece.

There is fitted brass insert in the top flower component of the floral tree to insert a single candle if you want to remove the three arm candelabra.
