Candlestand and holder (guéridon) 1727 - 1788

This Candlestand and holder (guéridon), created between 1727 and 1788 by French cabinetmaker Martin Carlin, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the Rococo era. The piece features a two-tiered structure with oval trays, the upper one adorned with a porcelain plaque. The elaborate design includes a central column with elegant, curved legs terminating in gilded paw feet. The adjustable candleholder, crafted from brass, adds a functional element to the stand, demonstrating the seamless integration of art and utility during the 18th century. This exquisite piece is a testament to Carlin's mastery and the refined taste of the French aristocracy.
