Pair Of Baluster-shaped Candlesticks - Germany, Probably Nuremberg, 17th Century
Pair of Baluster-Form Candlesticks
Gilded brass
Germany, likely Nuremberg, 17th century
H 12 × Ø 9.5 cm
This pair of finely worked candlesticks exemplifies Northern European metalwork of the 17th century, probably from Nuremberg, a leading center for brass and bronze casting. Each piece stands on a broad, bulbous, bell-shaped base, rising to a fluted baluster stem that culminates in a candle cup. The circular base supports a slightly raised disc, creating a sense of stability and elegance, while the gilded finish enhances the sculptural quality of the forms. The overall proportions and restrained ornamentation reflect the refined taste of German decorative arts in the Baroque period.
