HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Candle Holder Philip is inspired by a pair of 17th-century Spanish candlesticks in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The design of the original candlesticks reflects the Severe style associated with the reign of King Philip II of Spain (r. 1556–98), a period marked by architectural rigor and ornamental simplicity. Closely tied to the construction of the royal monastery-palace El Escorial, this stylistic movement left a lasting imprint on European decorative arts. Through The Met x Eichholtz collaboration, this legacy is brought into the present with reverence.
