Lovers 1741 - 1751

This Rococo-style candelabrum, titled "Lovers," was produced by the Meissen Manufactory in Germany between 1741 and 1751. The porcelain sculpture depicts a romantic scene of a couple seated on a bench, surrounded by delicate floral details. The elaborate design, with its intricate gold-leaf decoration and three candle holders, showcases the high craftsmanship of the Meissen porcelain factory, known for its innovative and luxurious creations. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, embodies the elegance and artistry of the Rococo period.
