Four-light candelabrum
Solid ivory furniture, ornaments, and candlesticks after English models were produced in the Bengal district of Murshidabad beginning in the second half of the eighteenth century. They were commissioned by nawabs to furnish their reception rooms for the convenience of their English guests or sometimes presented as gifts to esteemed East India Company officials. This candelabrum exhibits numerous elements of English Neoclassical style but handled in an Indian manner.
