This unique candelabra is said to have been designed and manufactured in the 19th century to illuminate city streets and provide safety and guidance to citizens at night. It is not only a functional element, but also a work of art that reflects the craftsmanship and design of the time.

Looks like great Art Nouveau to me. In fact, they are historical gas lamps (!)

In 1847 the introduction of gas lanterns for street lighting began in Prague. That was progress to be proud of. As a result, a lot of effort was put into the design of the lanterns.
