Sippe ceremonial candleholders or lebens-leuchter

[Capt. R]

A rare pair of runic candleholders for either a wedding or naming ceremony perhaps?

Great items!

I have a wedding lot with such Leuchter shown on "wedding presents" photo. There is one of these in Wewelsburg as well

[Capt. R]

thank you Michael for posting these period photos

Here is one of my period examples.

Two more period wooden Sippenleuchter visible and documented here - by the way: The stated date (1901) is an official mistake, it is in fact 1940.

The two visible wooden Pirnaer Sippenleuchter were in fact shown within the period exhibition "Kein schöner Land" in 1940.
