WMF / Geislingen - Chamberstick 248 (2) - Britannia Metal - Silvered - Historicism - Art Nouveau

Presented is a rare and well-preserved pair of candelabras by WMF, from around 1887.

2 antique candle holders of the WMF brand with 2 drip-candle holders. The selected object is a pair of ostentatious candelabras in the Neo-Baroque style from the late 19th century. These striking pieces are characterized by their richly ornate repoussé work (raising work), decorated with floral reliefs, typical Rocaille swirls, and curved, multi-tiered bases.
Similar historical models were produced by renowned manufacturers such as Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) around 1885 to 1900, both in silver-plated and pewter alloys.
Features and designation Style:
Neo-Baroque / Historicism with asymmetrical C- and S-scrolls, shell motifs, and plastic Rocaille Material: In these opulent pieces, it is often silver-plated base metal (such as brass or Britannia metal) or, less commonly, solid genuine silver (e.g., 800 or 925 sterling silver).
Condition: The dark discolorations in the depressions show natural oxidation (patina) that develops on silver and silver-plated items over the years.
AS - desired dark patina

The height is 31 cm and the base about 13 cm square. Weight per candlestick: 660 grams.

The candle holders are stamped with WMF I/O and, as well as the number 248. See photo.

Due to their age, minimal wear and signs of use are present. See photos. Other damages such as dents or dings are not present.
The candelabras have intentionally not been polished — I am sure they will shine even more with a fresh polish!
