Candlestick 1762 - 1763

"Candlestick" is a pair of silver candlesticks created by Samuel Siervent between 1762 and 1763. The intricate design features elaborate Rococo-style floral motifs and scrolling patterns, characteristic of the era. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the candlesticks stand as a testament to the artistry of the late 18th-century silversmithing tradition. These ornate, silver candlesticks are a prime example of 18th-century Rococo style, characterized by flowing lines, delicate ornamentation, and intricate details.
