This 19th-century pen-and-ink drawing depicts a design for a candelabra, a decorative multi-branched candlestick often used for ceremonial or decorative purposes. The design features intricate details and a classical style, with a central urn-shaped body and elaborate scrollwork. The anonymous artist likely intended this drawing as a blueprint for a silversmith or craftsman to follow. While the drawing lacks a specific attribution, it is a testament to the ongoing fascination with classical motifs and elegance during the 19th century, as exemplified in the design's intricate details and elegant form. This artwork can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
