This pair of silver candelabra, crafted in 1772 by Johannes Schiotling, is a fine example of Rococo style. The elaborate design features scrolling arms with intricate floral motifs and a fluted column reminiscent of Classical architecture. The candelabra, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of 18th-century silversmithing, showcasing the Rococo era's love for intricate detail and elegant curves.
Comments
These three-branch candelabra are early examples of the consistent application of Neoclassicism in Amsterdam art. The stem is shaped like a Corinthian column. This Classical order is identifiable by the capital, the column’s crowning element with acanthus leaves. Many other parts of the candelabra feature the same kind of foliage.
