Pair of Art Nouveau candlesticks in the form of angles / winged cherubs with applied flowers, made by the Plaue factory owned by Schierholz, in Plaue Thuringia, late 19th century.
(the factory operated 1880-1906). Meissen quality.
Measure 6 3/4inches high.
Each candlestick stands on an ornate swirling tripod base, richly adorned with applied flowers in pink and blue with green stems. Richly highlighted in gold. A beautifully modelled angelic
face with blond curls and puce wings supports a flowerform drip pan, and acanthus moulded candlestick, again with rich gilding.
Each stick is marked with a double crossed line, somewhat in immiatation of the Meissen mark. One stick also has an impressed number 42.
Condition is excellent. Blacklight shows no restorations. One or two missing petals - absolutely negligible and difficult to find are the only faults we could find. |
