I discovered this site recently and now I am trying to find out more on an electric silver lamp we own. I had a look on the German makers mark and doubt between Gebrueder Deyhle and Gebrueder Kuehn, both from Schaebische Gmuend. Perhaps there are even more similar makers marks? Can anyone help me and also give me some information on age of this lamp?
Thank you in advance, Niek
It could be that your lamp is a product of Gebr. Deyhle.
In this case it’s struck twice — so details of punch are overlapping each other and disfigure especially maker’s symbol — the prancing lion. By time and while they’ve had a lot of punches for could struck their maker’s mark. So it must be hold in mind that not every punch’s detail remained the same.
That makes it more difficult — for that reason it’s helpful to know e.g. the product range.
Gebr. Deyhle was founded in 1820 — and grow out from manufactory to be a factory. In a professional’s guide stand this short description.
Owner: Otto Deyhle, Ernst Rust.
Factory for large Hollowware’s, Silver table ware, Centre pieces, Jardinières, Girandoles, Coffee- and Tea Services, Bread dishes, Sporting competition’s trophy’s, etc. Additional silver ware.
In comparisons to other German maker’s, of same time span around 1900, who have also a »prancing lion« as their maker’s mark it is necessary to look on their product range:
The only »prancing lion« who I know to could be interpreted to be similar to here shown »prancing lion« is the mark of Vietor. But Vietor wasn’t in that time ranges a maker. So it could be, he was the seller of this lamp — and has marked before sale.
Now it’s necessary to get insight in a catalogue of Gebr. Deyhle. Otherwise it could be said only: Maybe.
