Bruckmann & Söhne – Set Of Three Solid Silver Candelabras, Louis XV Rococo Style – Late 19th Century

Bruckmann & Söhne – Set of three solid silver candelabra, Louis XV Rococo style – Germany, late 19th century

A very beautiful set of three three-branched candelabra in 800-th solider silver, crafted by the German manufacturer Bruckmann & Söhne, based in Heilbronn, in the late 19th century.

Exquisitely crafted, these candelabras feature a dynamic, twisted design characteristic of the Louis XV Rococo style, with rich ornamentation of rocaille motifs, volutes, and foliage.

The three sinuous arms, with their elegantly intertwined lines, extend from a central shaft decorated with acanthus leaves to support richly molded candle holders, resting on wide candle sockets cut and chiseled with foliage motifs.

The circular bases with molded edges are adorned with floral motifs in relief, volutes, and rocaille clasps, executed with particularly meticulous chiseling. The set displays a beautiful decorative unity and a wealth of detail, attesting to the quality of craftsmanship of the Bruckmann & Söhne workshop.

The set consists of a pair of candelabra with weighted bases and a third, unweighted candelabra, all made entirely of solid silver. The total net weight of silver for the three pieces is 3 kilograms, with a total gross weight of 4.202 kilograms, including the ballast.

This set of three candelabras makes a striking decorative statement and is particularly well-suited for adorning a large reception table.
