Een kandelaber van verguld en gepatineerd brons, met Egyptische motieven en paardenhoofden c. 1810 - 1815

This design for a candelabrum by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, dated c. 1810-1815, exemplifies the Neoclassical style popular during this period. The piece features a mix of Egyptian and Greek motifs, including winged horses, a sphinx, and a bust of a woman in a stylized Egyptian headdress. The candelabrum is depicted in a combination of gilded bronze and patinated bronze, with the green patination creating a striking contrast with the gold. Schnorr von Carolsfeld, born in 1794, was a prolific artist known for his drawings and paintings, as well as his work in design. The design is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
