Pair Of Viennese Art Déco 4-light Silver Candelabra With Martelé Decor, Ca 1930
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.
