Candelabrum (one of a pair)

David Willaume II British

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512

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.
