Allach Kinderfries Himmler Candle Holder- Un-named # 3580
Heinrich Himmler was a known gift giver and often gave Allach figures to friends and persons within his inner circle. While many pieces consisted of standard catalog items and a known fondness for bird groups, but the most desirable are presentations specifically designed for presentation and bearing his name or signature. The Allach Kinderfries was awarded on the birth of a fourth child and bears a design by Prof. Karner referred to as the chain of life around the circumference of the candle holder signifying an eternal family chain. Under this motif is the motto "In der Sippe ew'ger Kette bin ich nur ein Glied" (In the family of the eternal chain, I am only one link). The design of the candle holder itself is that of SS officer and founding artist Prof. Karl Diebitsch, so the piece has been designed by two of the most noteworthy personalities involved in the Allach enterprise. Both Prof. Theodore Karner and Prof. Karl Diebitsch and is a direct presentation from Heinrich Himmler. Any one piece or item from any of these individuals is considered special, and here is one that involves all three..
This example must have been grabbed off a shelf at wars end and does not bear the facsimile Himmler signature and is not named to a child. However that is what these are and I will price it accordingly. Piece measure 6 inches High by 6 inches wide and is in mint condition. I will be listing a named example shortly.
The piece is offered in mint undamaged condition and not often encountered.
