This pair of silver candlesticks, crafted by Johann Peter Pepfenhauser between 1738 and 1750, exemplifies the Rococo style popular during this period. The elaborate, asymmetrical design with intricate detailing and a twisted stem demonstrate the ornate nature of the Rococo aesthetic. The candlesticks, standing at a height of 7 1/16 inches, are now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, providing insight into the craftsmanship of the time.
