The paired candlesticks for one candle are cast in patinated bronze. Each is made in the form of a cabinet sculpture depicting a city kerosene lantern. A figure of a lamplighter in an apron standing on a ladder is attached to the supporting bracket. One composition features a lamplighter looking like a craftsman in a jacket with pockets, peak cap and boots, with an oilcan in his hands, filling the lantern with kerosene; the other one – a yard-keeper, wearing a fur hat, felt boots and a short fur coat, cleaning the lantern glass with a rag. The sculptures are mounted on a stepped profiled plinth of rectangular shape with cut corners and a relief surface imitating a cobblestone pavement with a kerb and wooden bollard.
