Candlestick 1762 - 1763

This elegant silver candlestick, crafted by Ebenezer Coker between 1762 and 1763, showcases the Rococo style with its intricate, asymmetrical floral motifs and delicate curves. The candlestick, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, embodies the decorative sensibilities of the 18th century, highlighting a shift towards a more refined and graceful aesthetic. The silver's tarnished patina adds a touch of historical depth to the piece, making it a compelling example of both artistic skill and domestic luxury.
