EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of tableware, the Candelabrum, created between 1757-1758 by the talented artist François Thomas Germain. Crafted from exquisite silver, this candelabrum stands as a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the 18th century. Originally part of an extensive service commissioned for the Russian court in the 1750s, these candelabra were undoubtedly designed to impress. The intricate details and ornate craftsmanship are evident in every aspect of this masterpiece. Standing at an impressive height of 38.10 cm with a width of 24.50 cm, it commands attention and admiration. The base bears an inscription that reads "Fait par F. T. Germain sculpr offre du roy aux galleries du Louvre à Paris 1758" which translates to "Made by F. T. Germain sculptor offered by the king to the galleries of Louvre in Paris". This further adds historical significance to this remarkable piece. Now housed in Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA after being acquired through purchase from J. H Wade Fund; this candelabrum continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and elegance. As we gaze upon this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era where luxury knew no bounds. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with history and culture – forever preserving moments like these for generations to come.
