Design for a Candelabrum

Anna M. de Pool's architectural rendering presents a two-armed candelabrum with neoclassical ornamentation. The symmetrical composition features a tapered stem with acanthus leaf detailing, scrolling arms terminating in socket cups, and a decorative pedestal base. Rendered in graphite with hand-colored accents, the drawing demonstrates the technical precision required for metalwork design during the late nineteenth century. Such detailed drawings served as presentation pieces and production guides for craftspeople executing decorative arts commissions.
