Description
These are two candlesticks inherited from my Hungarian elderly father. They are about 10" tall with a definitive Art Nouveau base about 4" diameter. I did not clean them because I was told it is not a good idea. They weigh about 3/4 lb. each. Both women are holding urns which hold the candles. Very beautiful with good detail. Very difficult to see marking on bottom--A.K.&CIE in photo-The metal ware production company "AK & CIE" (Albert Köhler u. Cie) was founded by Albert Köhler in Vienna around 1880. Bought by German factory --continued to manufacture in Vienna until beginning of World War I. My father was an avid collector of items from the Austro-Hungarian empire.
