Candelabrum Showing the Family Tree of the Barons von Fircks

The candelabrum is made in the form of an oak. Each branch ends with a place for a candle. There is a large plaque on the base with the coats of arms of the von Firks and von Viettinghof families and the inscription: EDUARD FREIHERR von FIRCKS / geb: 21 August 1799 / ANTONIE von VIETINGHOFF / geb: 1 March 1810 / vermühlt 19 Februar 1826. Initially, there were four dwarfs on the base, but now only three are left. One with a golden wreath in hands symbolizing the golden wedding anniversary, second dwarf holds a silver wreath symbolizing the silver wedding anniversary and the third with a hammer forging a shiny topaz symbolizes the anniversary of the diamond wedding, which the couple did not experienced. There are 15 names of Eduard's and Antonie's children with dates engraved on gold leaves. Next to the gold leaves of married children are silver leaves with the names of their spouses. If there were children in the family, then their names are engraved on the silver leaves further on the branches. A total of 60 names are engraved on the leaves of this family tree.
