WMF / Geislingen - Chamberstick燭台 248 (2) - Britannia Metall-镀银 - 历史主义—新艺术风格

presenting a rare and well-preserved pair of candelabras by WMF, circa 1887.

2 antique candle holders of the WMF brand with 2 drip candle holders. The selected object is a pair of opulent candelabras in the Neo-Baroque style from the late 19th century. These striking pieces are characterized by their richly decorated repoussé work, adorned with floral reliefs, typical Rocaille scrolls, and wavy, multi-tiered bases.
Similar historical models were produced, among others, by the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) around 1885 to 1900, both in silver-plated finish and in tin alloys.
Features and determination
Style: Neo-Baroque / historicism with asymmetric C- and S-curves, shell motifs and plastic Rocaille
Material: In these opulent pieces, it is often silver-plated base metal (such as brass or Britannia metal) or, more rarely, solid genuine silver (e.g., 800 or 925 sterling silver).
Condition: The dark discolorations in the recesses indicate natural oxidation (patina) that develops over the years on silver and silver-plated items.
AS - desired dark discoloration

Height is 31 cm and the base about 13 cm square. Weight per candle holder: 660 grams.

The candle holders bear stamps WMF I/O and as, as well as number 248. See photo.

Due to their age there are minimal abrasions and signs of use. See photos. Other damages such as dents or buckling are not present.
The candlesticks were deliberately not polished — I am sure they would shine even more with a renewed polish!
