Triebner, Ens & Eckert Volkstedt, Germany. Candlestick, C. 19th Century.

19th century
Description

This antique porcelain statuette features three cherubs supporting the base of a pink candlestick, shaped like a small vase with a gold rim, and is presumed to have been created by the renowned Triebner, ENS & Eckert Volkstedt. Despite lacking the traditional markings of this firm, its style and craftsmanship suggest its origin.

The manufactory, known as Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanmanufaktur or the 'Oldest Volkstedt Porcelain Manufactory', was the first of its kind in Thuringia, Germany, established in the 1760s. This particular item is from the late 19th century, specifically between 1877 and 1894.

The statuette is adorned with flowers, detailed and meticulously hand-painted. The cherubs are beautifully glazed with polychrome overglaze details that enhance the piece's brightness and depth. It rests on a part of a rococo coaster, used as a stand.

Dimensions: Height 21.5 cm, width 13.8 cm, depth 13.8 cm. Candle hole diameter 1.6 cm. Weight 788 grams.

Condition: There are a few almost imperceptible chips on the flower petals and leaves, but otherwise, the piece is in excellent antique condition.

Please examine the accompanying photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of this description. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance, covering labor, packaging, and postage costs.

FAQs

Figural porcelain candlesticks are decorative lighting fixtures featuring sculpted human, cherubic, or mythological forms integrated into the candlestick stem. Popularised in 18th and 19th-century Europe, particularly in Germany and France, these items served as both functional candle holders and ornamental mantle displays.

These pieces were crafted using hard-paste porcelain, moulded in separate components, and assembled prior to firing. Artisans decorated them with hand-painted enamel glazes and gilding before conducting a final firing to set the painted finishes.

Authentic German porcelain from this era usually features underglaze factory marks stamped or painted on the base, such as manufacturer initials or trade symbols. Genuine items display fine hand-painted facial features, crisp floral moulding, and characteristic hard-paste translucent ceramic composition.

Place the candlestick on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or entry console alongside simple contemporary glassware to create balance. Positioning elaborate figurative ceramics against neutral walls allows the detailed sculptural work to serve as an interior focal point.

Dust the candlestick using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth to reach intricate recessed areas. Avoid submerging the piece in water or applying abrasive chemical solvents, as moisture can weaken delicate joins or wear away cold gilding.
