Emil Hermann - Candleholder (3) - Silver - Three 925 silver candle holders

Emil Hermann, Waldstetten – Three 925 Sterling Silver Candlesticks

For sale is an elegant three-piece candlestick set made of 925 sterling silver by the long-established German silver manufacturer Emil Hermann, Waldstetten.

The three candlesticks, each of a different height, are distinguished by their clean, timeless design. Slender cylindrical stems, tiered round bases and flat drip trays give them an understated elegance.

The design follows the functional aesthetic of classical modernism and is reminiscent of Bauhaus and Art Deco design.

Their differing heights make the candlesticks particularly striking when arranged as a group. They are suitable both as stylish table decorations and as an addition to a fine silver collection.
