1957 VINTAGE ROCOCO BY REED & BARTON U.S.A.Rococo was at its height in Europe and the term itself originates from the most popular decorative element in the Rococo style - rocaille. Rocailles are the intricate s- or c-shaped ornaments seen on nearly all furniture, mirrors and picture frames from the period. The decorations were asymmetrical and dynamic. They were inspired by elements from nature - shells, corals, conches and waves. Nature on the whole was fashionable in the 18th century. Characteristics of rococo art include natural motifs, elaborate carved forms, asymmetrical designs and rocaille. A stylized version of an acanthus leaf is a popular recurring pattern. It was prominent during the mid to late 18th century. Rococo art was chiefly the domain of craftspeople and designers rather than architects, so the style appears primarily in furniture, silver and ceramics more often.For your consideration a three arm candelabra with all the lavish character of this era in a vintage version manufactured by Reed & Barton in 1957 piece in excellent mint conditions depicting an elaborated sculpted design within this tendency done with morbid quality and attention to every single detail sturdy manufacture and substantial plating there is no breaks repairs monograms or plate loss as BONUS an additional FREE socket that will turn this piece
