Pair of Candelabra, 1887–90. House of Fabergé (Russian, 1842–1918), Julius Alexandrovitch Rappoport (Russian, 1864–1916). Silver; overall: 28.5 x 25.1 x 12 cm (11 1/4 x 9 7/8 x 4 3/4 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, The India Early Minshall Collection 1966.494 This pair of candelabra demonstrates Fabergé’s commitment to a commercial balance between decorative and functional design. The pair was made by Fabergé’s chief silversmith, German-born Julius Rappoport, in Moscow, where the majority of gold and silver objects were crafted. Small in size, the pair may have been used in more intimate settings, as opposed to larger banquets or public gathering areas. The design reflects the resurgence of the neoclassical style in the late 1800s.
