About the Item
Metropolitan Museum Reproduction Rococo-Style Silver plated Candlesticks by Gorham, Based on 1759 Design by Myer Myers.
Maker: These candlesticks are marked as a Metropolitan Museum Reproduction by Gorham, which is one of the leading American silver companies. Gorham is well-known for producing both original silver designs and high-quality museum reproductions.
Original Silversmith: The original design of these candlesticks is attributed to Myer Myers, a notable New York-based silversmith. Myers was active in the mid-18th century, around 1750–1775. He was one of the most prominent Jewish-American artisans of the Colonial period.
Design
Period:
The original candlesticks were designed in the Rococo style, which was popular in the mid-1700s.
The base features a scalloped or shell-like design, which is typical of the Rococo period's focus on natural, flowing forms.
The shaft and top of the candlestick are also finely detailed, with a graceful and slightly fluted shape, showing the refinement and craftsmanship of Myers' original design.
Date of Reproduction: While the original candlesticks were created around 1759, the reproduction was likely made in the mid-20th century by Gorham in partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The reproduction faithfully captures the essence of 18th-century silverwork.
Significance:
These candlesticks are part of a limited series of museum reproductions, making them collectible items that reflect the historical importance of Myer Myers' work and early American silver.
