This pair of forged candlesticks by Paley illustrates his ability to coax fluid, sensual, and supple forms from an industrial material known for its rigidity. Mastery and refinement of smithing techniques allow for the bold freedom of design and rightness of proportion that are typical of this metalsmith's refined works.
