About the Item
German empire period seven-piece silver candelabra set
German, circa 1810
Meaures: Largest: Height 66.5cm, diameter 30cm
Smallest: Height 51cm, width 28cm, depth 14cm
This composite garniture is the combination of one single candelabrum and three pairs of candelabra. All seven pieces were produced in Germany circa 1810, and it is remarkable that the group should form so cohesive and persuasive a whole. The set is wrought from pure silver and is styled in the manner popular during the Empire period.
Each candelabrum is set atop a circular foot and a cylindrical podium, this podium adorned with applied silver classicising figures. Each candelabrum features a shaft set with a foliate capital and base, though only some of the shafts are fluted while others remain smooth.
The largest candelabra—a pair and the single—feature Caryatid and Atlantid type figures, from which spring the candelabra branches. The two smaller pairs include the same, superbly scrolled foliate branches as the largest candelabra. Of the two smaller pairs, one pair features four branches per candelabrum while the other pair features three.
The candelabra are fully hallmarked, and stamped with maker’s marks for Wilhelm Conrad Hessenberg of Frankfurt and Hans Gottfried Dellevie of Hamburg.

An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique German 800 standard silver six-light candelabra; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection
These exceptional antique German silver candelabra have a square shaped form to a cylindrical column onto a stepped swept square foot.
Each impressive silver six light candelabrum retains the original hallmarked detachable push fit scrolling arms embellished with reed decoration.
The branches (labra) support six circular rounded capitals, each embellished with embossed fluted and floral decoration, all segmented with bead decoration.
The capitals are fitted with the original push fit incurved square sconces, embellished with further reed decoration.
Each capital of these German candelabra centrepieces surmount an impressive square drip pan, featuring identical ornamentation to that of the sconces.
Each silver candelabrum is fitted with a detachable screw fit central elevated capital, bearing the same ornamentation as the aforementioned examples; this detachable screw fit component indicates the high quality of the piece.
These versatile candelabra can be used as candlesticks once the arms are detached.
The Corinthian capital surmounts a Classic column encircled with vertical fluted decoration.
The plain square swept foot is embellished with an applied wreath design, in addition to tied reed decoration to the lower portion.
Both German silver candelabra have weighted bases, as to be expected, and are fitted with green baize to the underside.
The hallmarks to the rim of each antique silver base include:
National mark: Crescent moon and crown
Silver quality/purity mark: .800 (800/1000)
Maker's mark: Unknown
Retailers mark: W. Kluge & Co, Berlin
Such six-light candelabra are highly desirable and becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
