This pair of silver candlesticks, created by John Cafe in 1752-1753, are a fine example of Rococo style, with their intricate, flowing curves and ornamentation. The candlesticks feature a delicate, scalloped design on the base and a flared, petal-like top. These candlesticks are currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and are an important example of 18th-century English silverwork.
