This pair of silver candlesticks, created by Charles Petit between 1701 and 1702, is a prime example of French Baroque craftsmanship. Each candlestick features a fluted column adorned with delicate moldings and topped with a decorative rim. The bases are similarly detailed, with a ring of reeded molding and a wider circular base. The intricate designs and high-quality materials demonstrate the refined tastes of the time. This pair of candlesticks is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
