These candelabra were made to commemorate the wedding of Friedrich Franz IV, Grand-Duke of Mecklenburg and Schwerin to H.R.H. Princess Alexandra of Hanover in 1904.

Heinrich Rose had became the court jeweller in 1901 at the age of 62. His post meant that he worked on many of the grandest pieces in the royal dinner service.
