Two-branch candelabra 1887 - 1911

This two-branch candelabra, crafted by André Aucoc between 1887 and 1911, is a testament to the French silversmith's artistry. The elegant silver piece features intricate detailing throughout, from the fluted base to the scrolling arms that gracefully support the candle cups. It is a prime example of the Neoclassical style, evident in its symmetrical design and classical motifs, evoking a sense of grandeur and refinement. The candelabra is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offering viewers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of late 19th-century France.
