Description from the seller
Armeluiszilver glass candelabrum – Netherlands, ca. 1850
A characterful glass candelabrum made in the so-called armeluiszilver, dating from around 1850 and originating from the Netherlands. This type of glassware was produced in the 19th century as an affordable alternative to solid silver: clear glass with a silver-like reflection, giving the object the appearance of precious metal.
The candelabrum combines functionality with a distinctive visual effect. The glass is treated on the inside, creating a silver-colored reflection that enhances the candlelight in a warm and atmospheric way. This technique was popular in the 19th century and was widely used in household and decorative objects.
With its elegant form and subtle shine, this candelabrum is a fine example of historic collectibles, where simplicity and aesthetics meet. Today, armeluiszilver is valued for its unique appearance and as a collectible within antique glassware.
