About the Item

A pair of Danish silver nine-light candelabra, baluster shaped, turned stems, embossed and engraved with Rococo ornamentation, detachable branches, circular domed bases. Assayer's mark: Simon Groth, 1863-1904 -The first Danish hallmarking was made in Copenhagen at the end of the 15th century. Later, other cities as Aalbotg, Aarhus, Odense and Viborg introduced their own mark as a guarantee of precious metals. In 1893 the "Three-tower" mark of Copenhagen was adopted as the national mark in the new standardized hallmarking system. Copenhagen had the only Assay Office in Denmark. By the year 1900 many schools around the different ideas in design had started to rise up in England and other parts of Europe, including Germany where in Dramstadt the artist colony, Mathildenhohe. During this period of time, in order to promote their ideas of a decorative art for the common man, and eschewing the overly ornamented designs of the previous era, founded the Deutscher Werkbund. Although its purpose at first was to help partner designers with manufacturers in order to help Germany compete with other countries, it incorporated many elements of the Arts and Crafts movement in England and became a predecessor for the Bauhaus School, which became the greatest source of inspiration towards design in the decorative arts between World War I and World War II. Despite lacking a school for the decorative arts for themselves, silversmiths from Denmark would travel about Germany during this time and report back the various ideas surrounding decorative design where it would be published in various trade journals. During the turn of the 20th century many silversmithies opened that would once again influence Danish design for the coming years.
