This is a wonderful pair of rustic Antique Pewter Taper / Candle Holders from Malaysia. These Candle / Taper Holders were purchased by father in the early 1970's in Penang when he owned an Antique Shop in Batu Ferringhi. The Candle Holders were made for the Straits Chinese Community and clearly date to before the turn of the Century.  My father & I sourced our collection of Peranakan / Nyonya-Baba items primarily from a pair of antique dealers who purchased these items from families who lived on the island.

Item Condition - both candlesticks are Pewter and therefore malleable.  Both of the Candle Holders are slightly bent / crooked but not drastically noticeable as evidenced by the pictures.  Please send detailed message if you have any questions in regards to the condition of this listing!

Taper / Candle Holder Dimensions: 3 1/4 inches wide at the base and 8 1/2 inches high.  Pair Weight: 31.3 ounces
