Kandelaar 1789 - 1790

This silver candlestick, created by Dutch silversmith Hendrik Boshart between 1789 and 1790, exhibits the classic neoclassical style prevalent during this period. The candlestick's elegant form, with its slender column and circular base, is reminiscent of ancient Roman architecture. The delicate ornamentation, including the beaded rim and engraved chain pattern, adds a touch of refinement, reflecting the growing appreciation for refined aesthetics in 18th-century Europe. This piece is an excellent example of Dutch silversmithing during the late 18th century.
