Emmy Roth was a German female silversmith, who was heavilly influenced by the Bauhaus movement and often featured contemporary architectural models in her designs. A famous example of this is her 1927 sugar castor, which was modelled on the Einstein Tower.
This candelabrum is reminiscent of that earlier design.
