This pair of silver candelabra, created in 1772 by Johannes Schiotling, are a testament to the Rococo style prevalent in 18th-century Europe. The intricate, swirling design featuring delicate floral motifs and a fluted column speaks to the era's penchant for elaborate ornamentation. The candelabra, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, are a remarkable example of craftsmanship, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the time.

These three-branch candelabra are early examples of the consistent application of Neoclassicism in Amsterdam art. The stem is shaped like a Corinthian column. This Classical order is identifiable by the capital, the column’s crowning element with acanthus leaves. Many other parts of the candelabra feature the same kind of foliage.
