This pair of silver candlesticks, crafted by Thomas Merry I in 1713-14, exemplifies the elegant simplicity of early 18th-century English silversmithing. Each candlestick features a slender, fluted stem, a bell-shaped cup, and an octagonal base. The design, characterized by its restrained ornamentation and refined proportions, reflects the prevailing taste for classical forms during this period. These candlesticks are a testament to Merry's skill as a silversmith and offer a glimpse into the domestic life of the wealthy during the early Georgian era.
