Pair of candlesticks candlestick with medallions Pair of candlesticks, The candlesticks are round in cross-section. The straight-walled base has a flat top, over which runs a pearl rim that surrounds the foot. This is constructed in steps and consists of a layer of smooth part, a higher middle part over which a wreath of bay leaves and berries tied with ribbons runs and a curved, rejuvenating part with a decoration of two layers of beam leaves superimposed on a punched ground. Foot and trunk are separated by a flat nodus, decorated with acanthus leaves, closed by profile edges. The baluster-shaped trunk is adorned around the lower part with three acanthus volutes, between which three oval medallions surrounded by leaves with antique portraits in the profile turned to the right: the first bearded and topped, the second beardless and also laureled and the third veiled. The trunk has a straight-walled crown, on which three wound laurel garlands depend on nails. The arched top is decorated with stylized leaves. Above that, separated from the stem by a convex profile, the candle holder arises, which is in the form of a stylized flower whose petals are held together by a band engraved with a curved edge on roughened ground. The loose fat trap is surrounded by a pearl rim, ornaments, art, Johannes Schiotling, Amsterdam, 1785, silver (metal), h cm × d cm × w gr
