Pair of candelabra — History & Facts
These three-branch candelabra are early examples of the consistent application of Neoclassicism in Amsterdam art. The stem is shaped like a Corinthian column. This Classical order is identifiable by the capital, the column’s crowning element with acanthus leaves.
Many other parts of the candelabra feature the same kind of foliage.
