Candlestick c. late 17th century

This 17th-century candlestick, crafted by an anonymous artist, is a testament to the ingenuity of metalworking during the period. The candlestick is made of brass and features a simple, yet elegant, design with a flared base and a tall cylindrical stem. The piece is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection and stands as a reminder of the functional beauty and enduring appeal of utilitarian objects.
