Three-Arm Candelabrum 1784

This silver three-arm candelabrum, created by the Matthew Boulton Plate Company in 1784, showcases the elegant designs of the Neoclassical period. The candelabrum, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features a central stem with three gracefully curved arms, each culminating in a decorative cup for holding candles. The intricate details and refined proportions of the piece reflect the revival of classical art and architecture that characterized the Neoclassical movement. The candelabrum stands as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the Matthew Boulton Plate Company and the enduring appeal of Neoclassical aesthetics.
