Welcome to my offer. Early ALUMINIUM made in Germany. I offer you here a rarity obiect from the period of early industrialization of the German Gründerzeit (Historism). The candlestick is depicted in the form of a winged mermaid and was made of the metal aluminum cast. The candlestick is then finished with a lacquered patina, typical of the gloomy ambience of historicism, following the taste of the time. The candlestick is in good used condition, with clear traces of use in the patina (scratches), see photos. The unique item is not marked. A truly museum piece of contemporary history. A beautiful collector’s timedocument for your Collection. At the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867, the first time products of new metal aluminum were shown, and received with great interest by the public, but the products at that time were still much more expensive than Gold, because for the process of production still a very high technical and energetic process had to be operated. Since the process of industrial production at the beginning of the 20th century became much cheaper, the prices then also lowered to the present day, so that today one does not pay much attention to the metal in everyday life, because we encounter it in everyday life constantly.
