Candlestick 1740 - 1755

This porcelain candlestick, produced by the Vincennes Manufactory in France between 1740 and 1755, showcases the artistry of the period. The delicate, hand-painted scene depicts figures in a pastoral setting, characteristic of the Rococo style. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and elegance of 18th-century French porcelain. The intricate details and soft color palette of the design exemplify the Rococo aesthetic.
