Set of four candlesticks 1728

This set of four silver candlesticks was crafted by Paul de Lamerie in 1728. De Lamerie was a prominent silversmith in London during the early 18th century, known for his elegant and refined designs. The candlesticks are characterized by their simple yet sophisticated form, with a slender stem and a square base. The candlesticks are a fine example of de Lamerie's skill in combining classical aesthetics with functional design, reflecting the prevailing taste for refined elegance in the Georgian era. They are now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to their enduring artistry and historical significance.
