This pair of late 19th-century candlesticks from Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik dates from 1890 and exemplifies Historicism style. The pieces are electroplated nickel silver with a bright silver finish and present companion figures of a Renaissance gentleman and lady as the stems, each holding aloft a twisted rope-form column that leads to a fluted sconce with cast foliate and figural decoration. The rounded bases display cast relief ornamentation featuring a repeating pattern, while the figures exhibit detailed garments and facial expressions, and the metal surfaces show tarnishing and wear consistent with age. Each candlestick stands 33.5 cm high, 12.5 cm wide, and 12.5 cm deep. Suitable for display on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table, these candlesticks add historical character to interior spaces. They function as decorative table accents or mantel ornaments, pairing well with traditional or eclectic room schemes.

FAQs

Figural candlesticks from the late nineteenth century incorporate sculpted human, mythological, or allegorical figures into the stem structure, popularised during the Historicism and Art Nouveau movements across Europe.

These decorative objects were typically cast in base metal alloys, such as Britannia metal or nickel silver, before undergoing electroplating to coat the detailed surface in a thin layer of pure silver.

Authentic WMF pieces usually feature stamped makers marks, such as the ostrich emblem or letter acronyms, alongside numerical codes denoting the plating weight and metal composition on the base.

Position them as decorative accents on a dining table centrepiece, mantelpiece, or sideboard top alongside modern ceramics or artwork to create visual contrast between historic detail and contemporary design.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and a specialised silver polish formulated for electroplated wares, avoiding aggressive abrasives or chemical dips that could strip the silver layer.
