This anonymous 19th century drawing from the Metropolitan Museum of Art depicts designs for three candelabras and an urn. The sheet displays four separate designs, each delicately rendered with intricate details. Each of the candelabras is adorned with rococo ornamentation, featuring swirling volutes, floral motifs, and a cherub. The urn has a simple, elegant form and is also decorated with ornate rococo detailing. These designs would have served as inspiration for silversmiths and artisans, offering a glimpse into the decorative tastes of the 19th century.
