Candlestick 1800 - 1815

This silver candlestick, created by Isaac Hutton between 1800 and 1815, is a fine example of Neoclassical design. The fluted column and square base evoke the architectural style of ancient Greece and Rome, popular during this period. The candlestick is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. The simple yet elegant design of this candlestick speaks to the enduring appeal of classic forms, making it a valuable piece of silver and decorative art.
