Antique Arts & Crafts Candlestick Pair by Marie Zimmermann

About the Item

A pair of silvered Arts & Crafts flori-form candlesticks by American metalworker, jeweler, and designer, Marie Zimmermann (1879-1972). Both candlesticks are fully marked and from the artist's estate. A similar design for gilded copper candlesticks is illustrated on page 329, fig. 10.7 of The Jewelry and Metalwork of Marie Zimmermann, 2011. This heavily silvered Arts and Crafts design dates circa 1915 while Zimmermann maintained a workshop studio and showroom at the National Arts Club in New York. The domed and scalloped bases show Hammer marks and the twisted tube stems support lobed and fluted collars with removable candle cup inserts. Each candlestick is stamped M. Zimmermann/Maker over her MZ cipher underfoot and measures 15.5 in. Height x 3.5 in. Diameter (upper) x 5.25 in Diameter (base). The candlesticks are in very good condition with small spots of tarnish, oxidation, and a little wear to the edges. Both removable candle inserts have a slightly darker matte surface which is likely the result of rhodium plating, a technique Zimmermann used to prevent tarnish. Although both fit perfectly into their respective slots, they are each just slightly raised in one spot. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City holds the largest collection of objects by Marie Zimmermann, acquiring their first example of her work in 1922. Examples of her designs in jewelry and metalwork are also in the permanent collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Wolfsonian-Florida International University, and the Columbus Museum of Art. Provenance: The Estate of Marie Zimmermann.

  • Gunnar Ander Black Lacquered Candelabra for Ystad Metall, Sweden 1950s
    By Gunnar Ander, Ystad-Metall
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    Gunnar Ander was an industrial designer and architect, and one of the brightest stars of 20th-century Swedish metal, wood, and glass design. His most well-known models are the innovative designs for Ystad Metall, such as this unique pair of candle holders. His designs are represented in numerous museums in Sweden. This branched candle holder, or ‘ljusstake’ in Swedish, is a modern interpretation of the classic candlestick that was once found in most Swedish homes. The versatile shapes and forms of this model come alive thanks to the modern materials and the colour choice. The black lacquered metal structure is composed of 6 asymmetrical arms that share the same curve except for the central pair that are perfectly straight. The arms connect at the base in the middle and are wrapped by a sculptural brass piece. This creates a neat, seemingly gravity defying visual effect. The candles’ cups are made of brass that stand out beautifully against the black structure. The cups are formed so that the dripping wax is caught inside of them, similarly to chambersticks. Arranged carefully at different heights, the cups make the design dynamic and quite organic as well. With home improvements...
