Item:285762999131Rare Goberg Antique Metal Viking Ship Ashtray Candlestick Germany. A Goberg arts and crafts steel candlestick or 'smoker's companion', manufactured by Hugo Berger in Schmalkalden, Germany, and dating to circa 1910-1920, this is very much in the Medieval Revival style – even though it features a Viking ship . Stamped with his maker's marks to the base it features a matchbox holder, candle sconce at the stern and a fluttering brass pennant at the top of the mast. Offered in good condition, commensurate with age, it measure 30cm tall, 30cm long and 12cm deep. This version has been painted and the patina of the flaking paint is fabulous – and impossible to replicate. It has a fabulous feeling of age. It's also reassuringly heavy.
