Description
Pair of ca. 1945 American "Buenilum" brass candleholders. Buenilum is the brand name of Frederick Buehner and Franz Wanner's eponymous company, Buehner & Wanner, which was later acquired by Pflatzgraff in 1969.
Saucer-form with ornate ring detail present to the base (adjoined rings resemble springs).
These are rare examples, as they are hammered brass, as opposed to aluminum ("Buenilum" is a combination of "Buehner" and "aluminum," as these pieces were almost exclusively made from aluminum).
Newly polished condition though light wear remains - namely two lines in the brass (potentially manufacturing flaws, as brass was an uncommon material for the aluminum serve/decorative ware manufacturer).
Branded "BUENILUM BRASS" with a castle mark, representing a castle in Buehner's home town of Lindach.
H: 1.75" x Diameter: 4.38"
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Very good, newly polished condition, though light wear remains - namely two lines in the brass (potentially manufacturing flaws, as brass was an uncommon material for the aluminum serve/decorative ware manufacturer).
