Pair of German Late 19th Century Jugendstil Silver Plated WMF Cherub Candelabras

A pair of German Jugendstil late 19th century silver plated candelabras from the Württemberg Metalware Factory, with cherubs holding the bobèches. Born in Germany in the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) during the last quarter of the 19th century, each exquisite candelabra features a silver-plated scrolling structure that exemplifies the elegance and artistic sensibilities of the Jugendstil movement. Each piece showcases a cherub standing on one leg, his arms raised gracefully to support the two bobèches designed to hold the candles. The cherub is intricately detailed, with a charming expression and delicate features, embodying the playful yet refined nature of the era. He stands atop a beautifully crafted circular base adorned with acanthus leaves, which symbolize eternal life and add a touch of classical elegance.
