Candelabrum

1800–1900
Not on view
This garniture, consisting of a pair of candelabra and a double candelabrum supporting a fluted glass fruit bowl, came from the Van Rensselaer house in Albany. Its scrolling grapevine bearing leaves and grape clusters and the putti on lily pads at the bases are features typical of the rococo revival style.

(See 55.75.1–.3 for set.)
