An exquisite eye-catcher from times gone by: This antique porcelain candlestick from the renowned Meissen manufactory takes you back to the late 19th century. Designed in classicist elegance, a smooth column rises from a moulded base, crowned by a vase-shaped candle spout. The square plinth lends the piece stability and aesthetic harmony.
The richly painted design features delicate, stylised flowers and tendrils in an exotic ‘Indian style’, artfully accentuated by delicate gilding. This play of detail is evidence of masterful craftsmanship and gives the candlestick a luxurious appearance. The Meissen mark and the knob period around 1880 emphasise the historical value, while two grinding marks indicate a second choice.
Despite minimal signs of age-related wear, this piece radiates timeless beauty and is a piece of jewellery for any sophisticated collection. A truly masterful object that combines elegance and history in perfect harmony!
