Pair Extremely Rare Royal Copenhagen Blue Fluted Full Lace 21 " 6 - Arm Candelabra
Item History & Price
EXTREMELY RARE ANTIQUE PAIR ROYAL COPENHAGEN BLUE FLUTED FULL LACE SIX-ARM CANDELABRA #1006
We are fortunate to have a small but very important collection of Royal Copenhagen Blue Fluted Full Lace porcelains to offer this season. If you are a collector, be sure to see my other auctions for more from this collection. All items sell at auction. We do not end auctions early for offers. This auction offers an extremely rare pair of Royal Copenhagen Blue F...luted Full Lace six-arm candelabra. One is 21-1/2" tall and the other is 21" tall. These spectacular works of art are decorated in the delicate Royal Copenhagen blue and white floral design on a fluted surface with the "full lace" reticulated edges. They have snails, turtles, salamanders, masks and three full figures; two are fauns (also called Pan), which are mischievous and playful mythical beings, half goat and half human. The other figure is a young human girl. All are reaching or sitting at the top of the base, reaching upward. The entire upper part is reticulated and from that area rises five curved arms and one additional candle holder in the center. They all have bobeches and will take candles of approximately 1" diameter. These are breathtaking pieces that in all our years handling fine antiques, we have never seen before. We can find no sold comps. One (not a pair) is offered now on ebay priced at $8500. HALLMARKS: These candelabra were created by two different artists. They have different artist numbers and as noted, are slightly different heights. The taller has a faint strike through the mark, indicating it is a factory second. The shorter one is marked as first quality. One has the Royal Copenhagen mark but without the word Denmark, indicating it was made prior to 1891. The other has the word Denmark with the three wave mark and crown, a mark used between 1892 and 1900. Both are marked with mold number 1006. CONDITION: One candelabra has a repaired clean break to one of the arms. There is also a 1" long repair to one foot and there is a firing crack to one of the faun's legs and another to a faun's upper arm that occurs in the making and is not damage. These issues are all pictured above. The top sections come off the stems but nothing else is removable. There is some residual candle wax in the holders and we have not carefully cleaned the pieces as we normally do because of their delicacy. When taken apart, they should be more easily cleaned. SHIPPING: These candelabra will be shipped in two large cartons using foam and other professional packing materials. The cost is only estimated here. Once they are packed and we know their destination, we will be able to more accurately quote shipping cost. Specialized antique freight delivery is also an option. We are pricing for UPS insured shipment, double boxed and safely packed. If after labels are purchased, you have overpaid, we will refund any difference owing to the winner. While I can ship internationally, the cost will be quite high because of the size of the boxes required. I can provide quotes by request or you can use a US shipping address.Stuff You Should Read About How We Do Business: ~We are always happy to combine orders for shipping if we can.
~Sales taxes are now mandated by most states in the US. These charges are automatically collected by eBay and remitted to your state. I have no control over these legislative enactments and cannot change them. The new sales taxes apply to all online sales, not just to eBay. ~ Payment is due no later than 3 days after the close of the auction. ~We do not end auctions early for offers.
~All our auctions are no-reserve. ~We guarantee your satisfaction on all items we sell. If we have missed something, which does happen from time to time with the antique and vintage items we handle, we will always make it right. ~We will not misrepresent values on customs forms or call merchandise a "gift." Import duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility and are not included in the price you have paid us. Please be aware that customs regulations may delay your receipt of the item.
We offer both USPS and UPS shipping service--please select the best shipping option for you when you check out, as several are almost always offered.
