Designs for Two Candelabras and a Pedestal 19th century

This 19th-century drawing by an anonymous artist showcases designs for two candelabras and a pedestal. The drawing, which is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is executed in ink. The ornate designs feature elaborate flourishes and curves, characteristic of the Rococo style. The candelabras are composed of a series of scrolling arms that support candle holders, reflecting the Rococo's emphasis on asymmetrical and organic forms. The design also features a decorative base, adorned with intricate details. These designs would likely have been intended for the production of luxurious silver or bronze objects, as the artist meticulously depicts the intricate details of the ornamentation.
