Kandelaar van tin in de vorm van een Griekse zuil c. 1772 - 1812

This pewter candlestick, created by Dutch artist Carel Lodewijk Schurffius around 1772-1812, is a fine example of Neoclassical design. The candlestick is in the form of a Greek column, with a fluted shaft and a square base decorated with a beaded border. The capital, resembling a Doric order, features stylized acanthus leaves and a central socket for a candle. Schurffius's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the intricate details and smooth, polished surface of the piece. This candlestick, measuring 30.5 cm in height, would have been a decorative element in homes during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
