Candle Holders
  
 

Metal - Lithographed

  
The first part shows metal candle holders, clip type and others. The second part shows the lithographed candle holders.


Above and below a variety of metal holders.

 
       


Variety with a pin and with two wires.

Variety of uncommon holders with clip;
on the largest one the text "MINERVA" is stamped.


With fixed pine cone.

 


Candle holders with clips; the left with removable pine cone, the other is fixed.
     

On one of the clamps underneath is punched "D.R.P."
(Deutsches Reichspatent; translated: German Kingdom Patent).

Has a 20 cm long pin, attached to the back, with a screw at the top. The position of the screw seems unreasonable.

Notice the springlike holder of the turnable ball.


The ball is fixed.


Set of 12 small candle holders with turnable head, probably for small feather tree

Detail of the former candle holders

The top should hold a shade, which rotates when the candle is lit. See next pictures and also see the "Help" page.

Example of a shade, but not belonging to the previous holder, which I think is older.


Example of a complete set, not belonging to this collection.
     

Two boxed sets candle holders, somewhat different in colors bronze and gold; portrayed in Eva Stille's book "Christbaumschmuck", page 68; dates of the end of the 19th century
 

Standard candle holders; pleasant because it is a complete box.
     

Two glass fruit ornaments attached to metal candleholders. These are also shown in the Glass section.

Another metal variety, clip is green and the turnable candle holder goldcolored .
   
       
Lithographed metal candle holders.
Information has been added to several photos via the alternate text system; therefore if you are interested position your cursor over the photo.
Gnome (sometimes called Santa, but I think it is a gnome) holding a child. The next photo is the other side of this clip; different sides is unusual. This is the other side of the clip: gnome with a cookie, decorated with a heart and a chromo.
Watermill. This is part of a series with different landscapes.
Of this one too I have seen same model, but different pictures.
Above Raphael angels in different poses.
Above three different versions of butterflies. They are all the same size, so probably of the same series.
Here the weight at the foot is a metal ball; this is somtimes a pine cone.
