EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Matthew Boulton and John Fothergill in their creation, the Candelabrum. Dating back to around 1770, this stunning piece of decorative art hails from Birmingham, England. The candelabrum is a true testament to the skill and ingenuity of its creators. Made from Derbyshire fluorspar and gilt bronze with tortoiseshell veneered wood, it exudes an air of opulence and sophistication. The combination of these materials creates a harmonious blend of textures and colors that captivate the eye. Gilded with silver gilt, this masterpiece radiates a golden hue that adds to its allure. Its intricate metalwork showcases the mastery of Boulton and Fothergill in manipulating metals into delicate yet sturdy forms. As one gazes upon this candelabrum, they are transported back to the 18th century when such objects were highly coveted symbols of wealth and status. It serves as a reminder not only of Britain's rich heritage but also Europe's flourishing artistic scene during that time. Now housed in the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts who appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. With every detail meticulously crafted by hand, it stands as a testament to human creativity and dedication to perfection. This print captures not just an object but also a moment frozen in time – an enduring legacy left behind by two visionary artists whose work continues to be celebrated centuries
