Candelabrum (one of a pair) 1742 - 1743

This silver candelabrum, crafted by David Willaume II between 1742 and 1743, exemplifies the Rococo style prevalent in 18th century England. The elaborate, asymmetrical design with intricate scrolls and floral motifs adds a touch of elegance to the functional object. The candelabrum, originally part of a pair, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period, showcasing the skillful use of silver and the decorative art of the Rococo era. This silver candelabrum, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the artistic and practical beauty achieved by silversmiths during the reign of King George II.
