Candlestick Adrian Bancker American 1735-50 Early American candlesticks are extraordinarily rare; typically candlesticks that graced colonial American homes were imported from England or the Continent. For these, Adrian Bancker, a New York silversmith of Dutch descent, chose a traditional English form, yet their construction and appearance are unmistakably colonial North American. Although Banckers known oeuvre is small, the Met owns a significant collection of his silver, including a tankard (24.109.4), beaker (33.120.104), porringer (33.120.326), cream pot (44.88), punch bowl (48.15) and set of casters (1972.233.1-.3).

Beaker ca. 1730-50 Georgius Olescher Jr. An elegant rhythm is created in this beaker by alternating gilded vertical concave flutes with silver panels containing finely embossed and chased ornament on a matte ground. Georgius Olescher Jr., the maker here, was probably inspired by the work of Michael II May, who spent several years in France becoming familiar with Regence ornaments, returning to Brassó by December 1731. Other Transylvanian beakers are similarly decorated, including examples with this typical bell-shaped form. And it was May who produced several such large beakers, all of which are similarly ornamented (István Heller. Ungarische und siebenbürgische Goldschmiedearbeiten: Vom Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Munich, 2000, pp. 106-8, nos. 31 and 32). Some were produced with a lid. The Regence strapwork is an adaptation of French and German silver ornament but was also one of the main patterns featured on porcelain from the influential Viennese DuP

. The putti supporting the salt-cellars allude to salt itself. They ride dolphins and carry seashells, identifying them as the companions of Neptune, the god of the sea.

Altar Candlestick with Busts in Relief of Saints Peter and Paul (one of a pair) mid-16th century Workshop of Vincenzo Grandi Analogies of texture and composition (figures from which a Byzantine stiffness has not altogether disappeared) between these and three flagpole stands by Alessandro Leopardi in Piazza S. Marco, Venice, permit an attribution of the candlesticks at least to Leopardis sphere of influence. The candlesticks were part of a set of six for an altar. Two with reliefs of Saints Matthew and Luke are in the Pierpont Morgan Library, and two with Saints Mark and John are in the Victoria and Albert Museum..

Candlestick with foot in lobe style. Foot, trunk, fat catcher and pin are poured separately. The triangular base carried out in lobe is made up of three S volutes, which are connected by three cartouches, and carrying the triangular base for the trunk. This consists of a vase and a baluster. The profiled fat catcher includes a rib in the middle of the strongly curving edge. The candle pin decorated with grooved rings has been profiled to the foot and ends at the top of a gang. The candlestick is aged inside at the bottom to give more firmness. In a later incorrect restoration, the lower part of the candle pin is attached to the strain under the fat catcher, so that this candlestick has become slightly higher.

Chalice 1608, with later restorations Probably Otto Meier Because of their extraordinary monetary worth, few gold pieces of this size survived the melting pot. Here, radiant angels are enameled in the round (en ronde bosse), a technique developed in the fourteenth century that involves painting molten glass colors over a sculpted gold core. Made for the dean of Speyer Cathedral to use in celebrating Mass, the vessel is set with gemstones, believed to embody the glorious detailing of Gods divine order. Part of the original chalice is lost; in an indication of the objects enduring appeal, its damaged bowl was carefully replaced with a new one in the nineteenth century.[Elizabeth Cleland, 2017.

Cover for a Tureen, 1812. Paul Storr (British, 1771-1844). Silver; overall: 35.2 x 43.2 cm (13 7/8 x 17 in.). Silver fulfilled a prominent role in projecting wealth, status, power, and ritual in British life during the 1600s and 1700s. Elaborate forms such as this tureen cover, with its lionhead finials, acanthus leaves, and fluted detailing, not only represented wealth in its sheer silver weight but also provided royal and aristocratic owners a surface for displaying engraved coats of arms. The arms of the High Sheriff of Yorkshire, Timothy Hutton and his wife Elizabeth Chaytor of Spennithorne Hall in northern England are engraved on the accompanying tureen and stand by Paul Storr, one of the most prominent London silversmiths of the period.

Chalice à soleil 1532-33 French, Paris This chalice, made in the early French Renaissance, is decorated with motifs that derived from the late medieval period: wavy sun rays on the bowl and dome of the foot, which evoke the meditation on the Sacred Monogram as preached by Saint Bernardin of Siena (d. 1444), and lily petals, a symbol of the Virgin. The projecting twelve semicircles of the foot and the twelve bosses of the knop are references to the apostles. These lively features are joined by others taken from the more static repertoire of classical ornament derived from Roman architecture: a stem formed as a fluted column, the flutes alternately channeled; beading at the junction of stem and foot; acanthus on the upper and lower poles of the knop; and a wreath encircling the step of the foot. Fleurs-de-lis, emblems of the French crown, are, strangely, found here as also on other French liturgical objects of the sixteenth century and may refer to the control over the church in France w
