Candelabrum (one of a pair)
David Willaume II
1742/43 · Silver · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
The modeler of these candlesticks, influenced by contemporary French designs, has endowed the usually static form with an organic, upward-sweeping energy. Although the rococo style in England developed its own distinctive character, it remained strongly associated with France and French taste.
