ABOUT PRODUCTID 2930
This pair of table candlesticks, crafted by Schiffers in Warsaw around 1900, exemplifies the classical approach to metalwork at the turn of the 20th century. Made from brass plated with silver, each piece displays a cool, silvery hue, with warmer golden accents where the plating has worn away to reveal the underlying brass. The design features a stepped, circular base, a slender baluster-shaped stem, and a gently flared candle cup, accented by subtle ringed moldings that emphasize a balanced, symmetrical silhouette. The surface is mostly smooth, with areas of patina, fine scratches, and visible signs of use, all characteristic of authentic period objects. The candlesticks retain their original components and traditional construction, including visible metal joints. Condition: good, with clear evidence of age and natural wear, but no structural damage. Their poised form and combination of noble materials evoke the atmosphere of early 20th-century Warsaw bourgeois interiors. These candlesticks might recall long, wintry evenings when candlelight reflected off silvery surfaces, underscoring daily rituals and a care for detail. Each worn patch of silver seems to record the passage of time—traces of festive dinners and quiet, domestic light that accompanied generations. The patina and tonal differences in the metal lend each piece a unique character, telling a story of endurance and artisanal tradition. This pair would work well as a centrepiece on a classic dining table, combined with porcelain tableware and a linen tablecloth to draw out their historical depth. They could also serve as an accent on a living room sideboard, alongside antique books and glassware, or in an eclectic interior where they contrast with contemporary accessories. Their timeless form
