This is a vintage candlestick holder that is *believed* to be pewter or stainless steel. Candlestick fits into the top bloom (see photos) in this unique array of flowers. The sculpture can stand freely on its own, though I would reinforce it if you intend to light a real candle. (But I am a worrywart!) It is unsigned/unmarked as to where/when/by whom it was created. As for condition, it has some very minor, shallow surface scratching, though there are two deeper scratches on the bottom/leaves that are obvious.
