wiskemann - Candleholder (2) - Silverplated - Art Deco spring candle holder

a pair of antique, silver-plated church/altar candlesticks from the early 20th century (circa 1920). Made by the renowned Belgian silversmith Bruno Wiskemann (Brussels).
Both candlesticks feature the beautiful, patented "Nova Elite" Jugendstil monogram on the base and the BW stamp on the underside.
• Unique mechanism: Equipped with the original internal spring-loaded mechanism. The candle is automatically pushed upward as it burns down, causing the flame to remain at exactly the same height. The mechanism is complete with the brass inner sleeves and springs.
• Condition: In authentic, untouched condition with a lovely deep, dark silver patina (silver tarnish). Can be polished to a high gloss if desired.
A splendid and high-quality set for the connoisseur of antique silverware or religious objects.
