This Prussian chamberstick, crafted after 1880, is made from 800-grade silver, as confirmed by the distinctive hallmarks: crown, crescent, and the silversmith’s initials, in line with German standards adopted post-1884. The piece features a classic silhouette—its wide, flared base transitions smoothly into a slender neck and a rounded candle holder. The handle stands out, adorned with a raised, rococo-inspired foliate motif, introducing a decorative accent that contrasts with the mirror-polished, smooth body. Measuring 10 cm in length, 7.5 cm in width, and 6 cm in height, and weighing 51.09 grams, it is compact and solidly constructed. The practical thumb rest at the handle enhances portability. The surface bears gentle signs of age: a delicate patina and fine scratches, especially in the recesses, affirming its authenticity. The chamberstick remains in very good condition, with no visible damage or repairs. This silver chamberstick echoes the voice of late historicism, a period in Prussia when everyday objects were shaped by both utility and a love for decorative motifs. Its cool, lustrous silver reflects light like water at dusk, while the rococo ornamentation on the handle seems to whisper of evenings in grand parlors illuminated by a solitary candle. The compact proportions and carefully executed details evoke an era when even small implements were precisely balanced between practicality and refined embellishment. The chamberstick may serve as an accent in a classical library, on an oak desk, or as a detail atop a side table in an eclectic or historicist living room. It pairs well with a porcelain cup
