Pair of candlesticks

attributed to Jan van Cloon, before 1730

In Batavia, Dutch silversmiths worked alongside Chinese, Indian and local craftsmen. These candlesticks bear the hallmarks of Batavia and the marks of a master IVC, possibly Jan van Cloon. His candlesticks have no Asian features and closely follow European models.
