Collapsible candlestick

National Museum of Nature and Science
Tokyo, Japan

Small portable lamp made of brass. By removing its fire grate and closing its legs, this candlestick can be compactly folded into a flat object that can be stowed in a pocker-sized wallet and carried around. Because of its shape it was also called a tsurukubi (crane-neck) candlestick.
