This porcelain candlestick, dating back to the late 18th century, is a fascinating example of decorative arts from the period. Created by the Ansbach workshop, the piece features a central candle holder with a faux candle, a central base adorned with delicate floral motifs, and a tray holding various implements. The delicate, hand-painted decoration and intricate detailing showcase the craftsmanship of the time. While intended as a decorative object rather than a functional one, this faux chamber candlestick exemplifies the elegant aesthetic of the late 18th century.

This chamber candlestick looks as though it belongs on an 18th-century table. A stick of red sealing wax, a seal and pair of scissors, possibly for trimming the wick of the candle, are ready for use. However, this candle could never actually be lit. All of these objects are made of Ansbach porcelain and were very realistically decorated in The Hague.
