Two-armed candlestick with a male and female figure; The candlestick is composed of the following eight parts; of which only the first two are removable: the base; the trunk; the two figures; the two fat traps and the two candle holders. The trunk screwed into the foot is fixed with a nut. The thread; which was fixed in the trunk with tin or lead; has been released there. The round profiled foot merges into a concave section that narrows upwards and is closed by a collar. The two round arms of the trunk are twisted around each other at the bottom and are encased there in a hexagonal base and a hexagonal capital. They end in hexagonal bases for the two standing figures. The woman wears a long robe; the skirt of which she holds up with her right hand; so that both feet can be seen. In her left hand she carries the riveted fat trap and the candle holder. The decolletaged v-neck and the hems of the overcoat are trimmed with fur; which is indicated in granulation. The sleeves are open at the back and are held together with cords. The woman's face is surrounded by two braids. The headscarf is arranged in such a way that it marks the face with the edge; covers the head in a flattened shape and falls into folds at the back. The man wears a jerk tube that releases the shirt trimmed with a granulated edge on the chest and ends in a slip at the front and back. It is held together by a belt with a dagger and a pouch on its back. One pipe of the narrow hoos is crossed over. The feet are put in beak shoes; which are provided with edges at the top. The man wears a braided tie on the haircut that is cut round to the back of the neck. He holds his left hand to the side and has the riveted fat trap and candle holder in his right hand.; anonymous; Germany; c. 1850 - c. 1900; brass (alloy); granulation; h 27.0 cm d 16.5 cm
