Candlestick 1771 - 1772

This pair of silver candlesticks, created by William Cox III between 1771 and 1772, showcases the elegance of Neoclassical design. Their fluted columns, adorned with Corinthian capitals, reflect the revival of classical motifs during this period. The intricate detailing and the symmetrical form convey a sense of order and restraint characteristic of the Neoclassical style. The candlesticks, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, are a testament to the craftsmanship of 18th-century silversmithing.
