Candlestick (one of a pair) 1753 - 1755

This pair of silver candlesticks, crafted by Emanuel Drentwett between 1753 and 1755, are now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Their intricate design features rococo-style ornamentation, characterized by delicate floral motifs and flowing curves. The candlesticks stand just under eight inches tall, showcasing the craftsmanship of the silversmith in their finely detailed surfaces. They are a testament to the elegance and artistry of the rococo period in silverwork.
