This 19th-century anonymous design for a candlestick features a detailed drawing of a classical-inspired structure. The candlestick has an elaborate base with intricate scrollwork, a central column, and a wide, ornate top. The design is executed in a simple line drawing style, and the artist has labeled the drawing with the measurement "hauteur 19 pouces," suggesting this was a working design for a specific piece of furniture. The design's elegance and attention to detail exemplify the craftsmanship of the era. This drawing is a fascinating example of the artistic and decorative trends of the 19th century.
