About the Item

Two four-armed candleholders made of hammered and chased silver, base in a round basic shape, domed and ribbed and segmented in twelve rays, pointedly raised in the middle, with four slender U-shaped tubes on top, joined in the middle by a ball divided into twelve columns by pleating, set with trumpet-shaped spouts with eight petal edges at the outer ends. The design of a six-branched candlestick by Josef Hoffmann for the Wiener Werkstätte, around 1928, can certainly be seen as a model for this Viennese silversmith's work. Compare: MAK Vienna, online collection, inventory number GO 1796. Hammered decoration or Martelé: Hand-working the surface of metals, such as silver or copper, with small hammer blows to create a textured, irregular surface became a popular and characteristic decorative technique of the Wiener Werkstätte at the beginning of the 20th century. The hammered decoration creates a rustic, handcrafted look that is simultaneously elegant and modern, symbolizing the appreciation for quality craftsmanship and the individual touch that can be achieved through handwork. Well-known artists of the Wiener Werkstätte, such as Josef Hoffmann, who was also its co-founder, and Dagobert Peche, liked to use this technique in their work, achieving a fusion of artistic expression and craftsmanship in keeping with the philosophy of the Wiener Werkstätte: the endeavor to combine art and everyday life, and to provide everyday objects with aesthetic and technical refinement. Examples: Silver tea and coffee services, jewelry such as brooches and bracelets, as well as decorative objects for the home. Hallmarks: Toucan head - Austrian official hallmark 1922-1939, & from 1946, for 800 silver Illegible hallmark - probably fineness Master's mark - rubbed Dimensions: Hight: 24,0 cm / 9.44 in Diameter: 27,0 cm / 10.62 in Total weight: 1.500 grams / 48.23 troy OZ Very well-maintained condition, cleaned and polished
