Antique Candlesticks Empire Pattern by WMF Art Nouveau Silverplated

About the Item

Beautiful pair of antique candlesticks by WMF are stunning examples of silverplated pewter craftsmanship, made during the Art Nouveau period around 1900. They are part of the "Empire" series, which was designed by the famous German artist Albert Mayer and produced by the WMF company, which is renowned for its high-quality metalwork. The candlesticks are made of Britanniametall, which is a type of pewter alloy that is known for its strength and durability. The silver plating gives them a lustrous shine and creates a beautiful contrast with the partially patinated antique silver finish. The candlesticks feature a floral and foliage motif that is highly detailed and beautifully executed. The forms of the candlesticks give the impression of a vine or stem growing upwards, with the candleholders perched at the top like blooming flowers. Overall, these candlesticks are a beautiful example of the Art Nouveau period and the high-quality metalwork produced by the WMF company. They showcase the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans who created them and are a testament to the enduring appeal of Art Nouveau design. They would make a stunning addition to any collection of decorative arts or a beautiful centerpiece on a dining table or mantle. Height: ca. 30cm Diameter max.: ca. 11,4 cm Diameter candle: ca. 2,5cm Weight: 1336 g.
