I found out, after short research that Henniger Co. Berlin was founded in Berlin in 1890. I've bought and received yesterday a standard with at top a screw connection to place a dish or basin or bowl? If I'm right it is made in the art deco style, for instance there are four lion heads decorated in the paws. Personal thought it is made in the early 20th century. My question is; Is there somebody who can show me by a photo the original complete set,or look like, or can explain the pattern of the dish, basin or bowl and what material it was made. I will try to complete the standard that's the reason behind my question. Any help will be most appreciated, thanks a lot Silverhunter. IP: Logged |

Design styles can be difficult to categorize when many styles are combined, which is what I think I see going in in this object. I would definitely not call it Art Deco, though. If anything I might generically call it either Victorian revival or Rococo revival because of the lion's heads and paws in the design along with the very elaborate patterns. IP: Logged |

Thank you for your reply Kimo, perhaps the pattern is called "art nouveau" of the Henniger Neusilver Berlin Factory. I just find it a nice decoration. I wonder if this factory is still in business for to get any more answers about this piece. One day I found more and better result by doing further own research?. I think I look for a glass or crystal dish or bowl(without knowing what origenal) was placed at the top of this standard and even without to know what it was used for or was called. I don't make a lamp of it, ofcourse! Perhaps one day I see the light. Thanks a lot! IP: Logged |

The bowls were a varied lot; most were glass when new, but some ceramic. The glass could be cut, pressed, etched, enamled or plain. In naming the style, I would lean to North Germanic Romantic Revival. IP: Logged |

Dale, Thank you so much! The style you have mentioned is new to me, but it is placed into the grey upper space. I think a round glass dish will do and I hope the construction will be succeed in the future. Good to know the name in which style it is made. IP: Logged |

It is definitely not Art Nouveau. North Germanic Romantic Revival or one of the ones I mentioned would be appropriate. The problem is that it is not really a recognized style - it is an attempt come up with a design that is based on several styles of earlier years and so the only part of a style name that would easily fit is the word 'revival'.

Thank you again Kimo for your explaining. I'm bussy with repairing the standard and hope it will become something special. Not origenal but I like and knowing the style, I'm helped with it. It will be a revival piece that's for sure! IP: Logged |

Today I bought dish/bowl of glass just for combination with the standard. Slowly and careful I have drilled in the center of it a hole. Screwed the glass on the standard and I was surprised by the total combination. I my opinion it fits well. Without knowing the original look of these kind of standards I made something of it. The lobed glass is decorated with curves, also in the middle and it is a wonder the glass didn't broke. So here it is. Henniger should be proud! IP: Logged |

Fantastic job Andre. That looks really great. The low points of the glass rim are places where you can hook clusters of grapes to hang down. Be sure to fill the bowl with heavy fruit before doing so. IP: Logged |

Thank you Agphile for the compliment and Dale, also for advise I be careful with the fruitstandard (that's what it is from now on). I'm little proud to be a semi antique repairer. This comming saturday I visit a second hand market and hope to find pieces to repair. It's become a hobby. Greetings Silverhunter (andré(w). There is a lot of fun in trying to repair something!
