Blaker c. 1671 - 1719

Jacob Dijckman, a Dutch silversmith, created this simple yet elegant silver candlestick, likely for domestic use, around the late 17th century. The candlestick features a circular base with a single candle holder and a long, thin handle, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Its small size, measuring only 1.4 cm in height and 7.9 cm in width, suggests it was intended for personal use or perhaps as a decorative object. This piece showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of the Dutch silver trade during this period.
