"Candlestick" is a silver candlestick made by William Cox III in 1771-1772 and is now on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The candlestick, crafted in the neoclassical style, is reminiscent of a slender column with a square base and an intricately carved capital. The piece's elegance and attention to detail exemplify the craftsmanship of the period and the appeal of classical design during the late 18th century.
