This 19th-century design for a porcelain candelabra features an elaborate, nine-branched structure. The candelabra is depicted as an urn with a cobalt blue base and a white, oval centerpiece adorned with a delicate floral motif. The entire piece is embellished with intricate gold detailing, including the branches, handles, and base. The design showcases the Rococo style's characteristic emphasis on asymmetry, curvilinear forms, and elaborate ornamentation, epitomizing the aesthetic tastes of the era. This design, created by an anonymous artist, exemplifies the artistic excellence of the 19th century.
