Kandelaar van tin, getordeerd model c. 1775 - 1800

This pewter candlestick, made by J.A. van Giessen, dates back to the late 18th century. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is characterized by its elegant, twisted design. The ornate base features a decorative motif, while the stem displays a series of flowing, spiral patterns, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design. This candlestick is an excellent example of Dutch craftsmanship from the late 18th century and is a testament to the enduring beauty of functional art.
