Description
Pair of Gothic brass pricket candlesticks, each candlestick resting on three recumbent lions with tiered sections with large upper pans.
Provenance: Paul and Louise Bernheimer
The Bernheimers devoted their lives to collecting and dealing in antiques. Paul was the scion of the family that, in 1864, founded the world famous Bernheimer-Haus on Lenbachplatz in Munich, Germany. By 1900 the Bernheimer family had become official purveyors to the court of Bavaria.
