Beautiful estate pair of 1950's Virginia Metalcrafters, Inc. Colonial Williamsburg Brass pillar candle holders! Weighted and heavy these cast brass candlestick holders are part of VM's line of authentic reproductions made for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. They are fully hallmarked with the Virginia Metalcrafters logo and CW the Colonial Williamsburg designation. They stand 7.5" tall without the pricket which takes them to 9.5" tall. Perfect as stand alone candlesticks or even more fabulous with glass hurricane shades over top! We did not try to polish or clean these, we will leave that to the lucky new owners. Due to weight we will add several courier option to save on shipping costs.

Virginia Metalcrafters had its first beginnings with the founding of the Waynesboro Stove Company in 1890 by William J. Loth. The company, which made ornately cast cook-stoves, heaters, and all accouterments for kitchens of the period later developed the electric Hotpoint Range. It merged with the Riffe Ram Pump Works. Inventors in 1884 of the ram pump was widely used to pump water in rural areas before electrification. In 1938, the Rife-Loth Corporation began selling finely crafted brass accessories under the name Virginia Metalcrafters. In 2015, the Virginia Metalcrafters building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. VM Acquisitions is excited to bring the building back to life as a marketplace.

Candlesticks are in excellent condition! NO dents, dings or pings! The usual pre-loved light surface scuff and patina to finish here and there and one has some more finish rub throughout (see pics) from years of helping Josie keep the living room decor booming, but nothing that distracts from this wonderful pair of  Virginia Metalcrafters history.
