Candleholders
  
 

Metal - Lithographed

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


Above and below a variety of metal holders.
     

The ball is fixed.

With fixed pine cone.

The left with fixed pine cone, same as the previous; right larger removable cone


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

Uncommon holders with clip;
largest dia 8cm, marked "MINERVA" "D.R.G.M." "REFORM";
the other, dia 5,5cm is marked "D.R.G.M." and "REFORM";
there is nothing to attach them to a tree with??

   

Uncommon holders with clip, here
also with tree attachment


Variety with a pin and with two wires.

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

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

Turnable top: Set of 12 small candle holders with turnable top, probably for small feather tree; detail of the turnable top


Another variety with turnable head;
notice small version

Notice the springlike holder of the turnable ball;
marked on the front and back "DRGM"
 

Another metal variety,
clip is green and the turnable candle holder goldcolored .

   

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

Standard candle clips

Standard candle clips, younger

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.
  

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.

Candle holders made of thin white metal, both ca 6,5cm high, angel marked "...any" (Germany ?), Santa ca 6,5cm high, unmarked
Lithographed metal candleholders.
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.
Of this one too I have seen same model, but different pictures.
Watermill. This is part of a series with different landscapes.
      
Below Raphael angels in different poses.
Below some 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.
Here the weight at the foot is a metal ball;
sometimes a pine cone or a glass ball.
