This pair of Art Nouveau silvered pewter candlesticks dates from 1900 and originates from Germany. Each piece stands 28 cm high, taking the form of tall candlesticks crafted from silvered pewter with a polished metallic silver finish. Distinctive decorative elements include organic sinuous stems, cutout openwork bases, flared sconces, and intricate whiplash curves integrated into both the upper collar and the wider foot. The surfaces show lightly rubbed stamped marks near the base, smooth reflective plating across the metal body, and symmetrical open apertures that pierce the flared framework. Such items suit placement upon a mantelpiece or a dining surface within a domestic interior. These candlesticks accommodate standard taper candles, providing functional lighting while serving as sculptural decorative accents on flat surfaces.

Art Nouveau metalwork is defined by sinuous, organic lines, structural openwork, and forms inspired by nature, such as botanical stems and flowing foliage. Developed between 1890 and 1910, the style rejected historical revivalism in favour of decorative, stylized geometry and continuous fluid movement.

WMF frequently manufactured decorative items using Britannia metal or pewter alloys, which were then electroplated with silver. The combination allowed for intricate casting, sharp detail in openwork patterns, and a durable metallic finish.

Authentic items typically display stamped maker marks on the underside or base rim, such as the ostrich trademark, WMF, B, or specific plating indicators like I/O or OX for oxidised finishes. Casting quality, crisp motif definition, and period-appropriate solder joints also indicate origin.

These pieces function as striking accents on a dining table, mantlepiece, or sideboard, complementing contemporary minimal aesthetics by providing sculpture and historical texture. Pairing silvered finishes with natural wood, linen, or glass highlights their organic silhouettes.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid harsh chemical abrasives that can strip thin electroplated silver layers. If tarnish forms, apply a mild silver polish gently, taking care around pierced areas to prevent compound build-up.
