This silver candelabrum, crafted by Daniel Friedrich Metius in the Rococo style, is a testament to the intricate artistry of the 18th century. Dating back to 1725-1750, the piece features ornate floral and scrollwork, characteristic of the Rococo period, which emphasized elegance and asymmetry. The candelabrum, standing on a wide, ornately-decorated base, holds five candle arms, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the time. It's a striking example of decorative silverwork, reflecting the high standards of craftsmanship that defined this era.
