A pair of silver-plated Art Nouveau elegant lady-shaped candlesticks, WMF, Germany, ca. 1900

H 28 cm

Marked with the well known 'ostrick mark'. This mark originates from the German word for ostrich, 'Der Strauss' and was used as a reference to Daniel Straub, one of the founders of the Würtemburgische Metallwaren Fabrik. The 'G' in the mark stands for the town of Geislingen an der Steige, near Ulm in Baden-Württemburg.
