This pair of silver candlesticks, created by English silversmith Joseph Bird between 1705 and 1706, exemplifies the refined taste of the early 18th century. Each candlestick features a simple, elegant design with a cylindrical body, a molded base, and a faceted octagonal foot. These understated yet sophisticated candlesticks, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, would have graced the dressing tables of affluent homes, adding a touch of luxury to daily routines.
