Fine Pair of Late 18th Century English Brass Candlesticks About 4 5/8"
$45.00
Offered is a really good pair of early and small (and hard to find) English brass candlesticks dating to about 1790, give or take ten years or so. These are attractively proportioned and measure about 4 1/2 to 4 5/8 inches tall - perfect for a modern desk or many windowsills or mantlepieces. Each candlestick has its original ejector rod and one still has the brass button at the end of the rod - that ejector rod is functioning smoothly, while the one without the button is frozen but probably would work fine with a little TLC. Condition is very good for this type and age of candlestick, with only one or two tiny dimples and no major dents; there appear to be no splits or repairs. The candlestick with the button on the ejector rod has a very slight wobble on a flat surface, while the other candlestick or candle holder is absolutely flat. The patina on both sticks is very nice - gently and naturally aged. All in all a fine pair!
