Antique 19th Century German (Hanau) pair of candlesticks. Designed by combining the Rococo style extravagance with neo Classical style symmetry. Each candlestick has an elegant, tapering stem rising to an urn shaped socket. The surface is decorated with floral swags, scrolling foliage and finely cast ornamental detail. The circular bases are decorated with lattice pattern borders and beaded rims. The design is highly decorative typical of the fine continental silver of the period.
Hallmarked to the edge of the base.
Pseudo hallmarks from Germany are imitation silver marks used mainly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to resemble official British or European assay marks. Commonly associated with makers in Hanau, these fantasy marks were applied to decorative silver to give the appearance of age, quality, or prestige, although they were not official hallmarks.
