Chamber candlestick 1810 - 1811

This ornate chamber candlestick, crafted by Robert Hennell I between 1810 and 1811, is a testament to the artistry of the English silversmith. The piece boasts a gracefully curved handle with intricate rococo flourishes, culminating in a circular base with a central candle socket. Made of brass, the candlestick reflects light with a warm golden hue, adding a touch of elegance to any setting. The candlestick is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it is a valuable example of early 19th-century decorative arts.
