Description

A pair of Art Nouveau silver candelabra. 

Probably German, c.1900. 

The candelabra stamped 900M, possibly for Gustav Memmer, Berlin, active 1890-1930, each seven light candelabra designed with stylised flower bud capitals supported by bifurcated branches with whiplash terminations, the branches encircled by a pierced band decorated with ivy leaves and shield-shaped cartouches engraved with monograms, raised on spreading, circular feet with conforming ivy decoration, both with removable lead inserts to bases, the nuts stamped 900M, candelabra approx. 60cm high, 28cm wide, total weighable silver approx. 128.2ozt (pr)

 

 

 

Some general scratching, nicking and pitting to both. Steady on bases. Some wear to decoration commensurate with age. Some repairs noted to branches and some splits noted in a few places (mainly in areas of repairs). Indications of former erasures to cartouches. There are patches of discolouration to the silver and areas where there appears to be a coating of some kind on the silver. Some dings and a few splits and repairs noted to capitals. The pierced bands are in good overall condition, only one small hole noted to a high point on a leaf. A ding to the lead insert in foot of one candelabra. Overall an attractive pair of functional candelabra albeit with some wear and repairs. Further images available to download via this link: https://we.tl/t-9PNE3MsM8v
