About MeMarriott has a particular interest in the process of manipulating metal and combining it with other materials. Here she has covered the base with cream and lilac shagreen, picking up the amethysts set in the bases of the candle cups. The main body of the candelabra is made from scored and folded sheet metal, with forged silver.
