This is a heavy, high-quality pair of Victorian-style brass candlesticks featuring classic baluster stems and decorative gadrooned bases. The rippled, rope-like edging on the foot provides a sophisticated neoclassical look that catches the light beautifully.
The pieces are constructed with weighted bases for excellent stability, finished underneath with traditional red-oxide plates and original screw fixings. These are authentic multi-part castings, showing the craftsmanship typical of late 19th or early 20th-century metalware.
The brass retains a rich, warm patina with light traces of verdigris in the recesses, adding a wonderful sense of age and character. They are in sturdy, functional condition and have been well-preserved, ready to add a touch of period charm to any setting.
