Born in Hamburg in 1661, Peter Rahm became a master in 1694 and married Susanna Pepfenhauser in the same year. Rham's recorded works are nearly all sconces. Lorenz Seling records an early set of six made between 1692 and 1697, now in the Schatzkammer der Hohen Domkirche, Cologne. A silver gilt sconce of 1717-1721 and a set of four of 1729-1733 at Schloss Pillnitz (inv. nos. 46 776 and 36 430- 36 433). A pair of 1729-1733 are in the collection of the Kunstgewerbemuseum, Dresden (Inv. No. 36 434 and 42 222). Two pairs of sconces by Rahm sold, The Moritzburg Treasure: Silver and Works of Art from the Royal House of Saxony, Sotheby's, London, 17 December 1999, lots 64 and 65.
