WMF an Aesthetic Movement Copper Chamber Candlestick in theDr. C. Dresser Style
£600
Made by WMF around 1900, this Aesthetic Movement copper chamber candlestick reflects the influence of Dr. Christopher Dresser, one of the most important designers of the period. The cylindrical candleholder rises from a circular tray set on ball feet, with a detachable match holder and striker to one side, creating a practical yet highly modern composition.
The pared-back geometry, emphasis on utility, and use of copper align with Dresser’s design principles, which combined industrial production with refined aesthetic values. WMF’s work in this style helped define continental interpretations of the Aesthetic Movement at the turn of the century.
