Candlestick (one of a set of eight)
Andrew Fogelberg
1774/75 · Silver · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
An early development of the neoclassical style, le goût grecque (Greek taste) was highly fashionable at the end of the 1760s. While in Paris, the Duke of Bedford acquired a set of boldly architectural candlesticks by the French goldsmith Robert-Joseph Auguste. The design was later borrowed by several English makers, among them Andrew Fogelberg, who made these examples for James Dutton, 1st Baron Sherborne.
