"Two Candlesticks" is a pair of silver candlesticks created by Adam Loofs in 1687. Each candlestick is adorned with a female figure holding up a candle holder. The figures are dressed in flowing robes and have elaborate hairstyles, reminiscent of classical Greek and Roman statuary. The base of each candlestick is adorned with intricate floral patterns and the overall design is characteristic of the Baroque style, popular in Europe during the late 17th century.
Comments
Adam Loofs was silversmith and silver steward to Stadtholder William III. After having worked for King Louis XIV in Paris, he moved to The Hague in 1680. These candlesticks may have been made for William III. They are based directly on the silver furnishings and other objects at Versailles.
