Candlestick 1694 - 1695

This pair of silver candlesticks, crafted by Thomas Ash in 1694-1695, exemplifies the refined taste of the late 17th century. The design, featuring fluted columns and an octagonal base, reflects the Neoclassical style that was gaining popularity at the time. The elegant simplicity of the candlesticks makes them both functional and decorative, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistry of the period. They are currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
