A PAIR OF NORTH EUROPEAN GILT-METAL AND CUT-GLASS EIGHTEEN-LIGHT CHANDELIERS
The firm of Werner und Mieth was founded in Berlin in 1792 and was given a Royal Appointment in 1794. They supplied chandeliers for the most important palaces in and around Berlin, including the Japanese Palace, Sans-Souci at Potsdam and Schloss Monbijou. In 1797, King Frederick William II ordered a number of chandeliers for Charlottenburg, of which six were for the Winter apartments and six for the Summer apartments. From around 1810, they became increasingly successful in exporting their wares throughout Europe, eventually collaborating with Karl Friedrich Schinkel under the name Werner & Neffen.
