324 German 19th Century Silver Chamberstick


An 1880-1890 German Silver chamberstick. The chamberstick is a Hanau Silver chamberstick, with a delightful square form having the same embossed design on opposite sides, one with a man holding the hand of a woman with a fan, the other a man leaning on a stick. Both deigns are dressed with typical closthes of the era. The candle holder and removable bobeche are also highly decorated. The chamberstick, was probably made by Karl Kurz and Georg Roth (it is similar but smaller than #252 and #253) , but it has no German signs except for the 930 silver content. The chamberstick was imported to London. The marks of DB, (David Bridge), F (import) R (date letter for 1892) and the London marks can be seen clearly. Each side of the chamberstick is 5 cm length, it is 4 cm tall and it weighs 27 grams
