EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases an exquisite collection of silverware and metalwork used during the christening of King Christian IX of Denmark in 1818. The image, captured in the 1930s, features a set of ornate silver candelabras and candlesticks, which once illuminated the room with their warm, flickering light during the religious ceremony. The Russian samovar and accompanying silver dish with ewer add an intriguing touch to the collection, reflecting the cultural influences that shaped the event. King Christian IX, who is known as the "Father of the European Monarchies," was the monarch of Denmark from 1863 until his death in 1906. His christening marked the beginning of his reign and the start of a significant period in Danish history. The silverware and metalwork displayed in this photograph are not only precious relics of the past but also a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and artistic talent of the time. The silver candelabras and candlesticks, with their elegant curves and intricate designs, are examples of applied metalwork at its finest. The Russian samovar, a traditional tea urn, and the silver dish with ewer showcase the versatility and beauty of silver as a material for functional and decorative arts. The combination of these pieces creates a breathtaking display that transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the grandeur and opulence of a royal christening in the 19th century.
