Lot no. 214
English work 1900 - Arts & Crafts - Pair of hammered pewter candlesticks with enamelled ceramic inserts decorated with "Nabis" motifs, marked under the base: Tudric, Moorcroft, N° 01362, Connell, Cheapside, London.
H. 19 cm
These candlesticks, the result of a collaboration between William Moorcroft and London-based Liberty & Co, embody the essence of the Arts & Crafts movement, combining fine craftsmanship and innovative design. The hammered pewter alloy base of the Tudric range, characteristic of Liberty & Co., harmonises with glazed ceramic inserts in floral motifs and vibrant colours. This marriage of materials is a perfect illustration of Liberty & Co.'s visionary approach, which supported artists such as William Moorcroft to create iconic pieces from the early 20th century.
