German Silver Candelabra by Bruckmann & Söhne

One of the oldest and most esteemed silver firms in Germany, Bruckmann & Söhne, created this wonderful pair of antique silver five-light candelabra. The Neoclassical forms are distinguished by elegant repoussé fluting punctuated by diminutive foliate garlands and swags of drapery deepening their classical aesthetics.

Bruckmann & Söhne are famed for their superior silver workmanship with an oeuvre that spans from the decadent Rococo to the timeless refinement of the Neoclassical. The firm garnered many awards and recognition at the great international exhibitions of the 19th century, including the 1873 Vienna Exhibition, the Nuremberg Exhibition of 1885, the 1896 Stuttgart Exhibition and the iconic Paris Exhibition Universelle of 1900.

This pair of candelabra is made of silver of 800/1000 fineness. This was common practice in Germany for silver that was utilized frequently, as it gave the finished piece added durability while maintaining the distinct elegance only silver can achieve.

Stamped with the German National "moon and crown" and the Bruckmann & Söhne mark.
