Description
A Rare Pair of Antique Victorian Arts & Crafts Chased Brass Candlesticks.
19th C.
A good quality pair of large solid brass sectional arts & crafts candlesticks, dating from the 19th C.
These large brass candlesticks have been made in sections that are secured on a central threaded steel rod. The candlesticks are raised on four bracket feet set on a square base plate. This is attached to the heavy cubodial bases by two small screws and the steel threading after it passes through a central hole being fastened by a stepped circular nut. The cubodial base tapers from 9cm to 2cm below the conical candleholders. The conical candleholders rises from a compressed ball knop at their base and are finished with removable wax drip trays. The brass has been heavily and deeply chased in floral and vine patterns with figural panels. The bases have four panels showing: a seating crowned figure; the same figure falling from the seat; a horned figure walking with a club over his shoulder and another figure carrying a club. The figures chased into the concical sections are less clear being worn from polishing over the years but include a seated crowned lady. The depths of the chased sections has blackened from age which adds fantastic character to these candlesticks.
Dimensions: The candlesticks stand 21cm tall. The base plates measure 9cm x 9cm.
Weight; 1492g's total.
Condition: In good used antique condition. The brass has degrees of wear having been well polished over the years. There are very minor surface marks, and aged blackening to the chased out areas. The candlesticks are easily dissembled for cleaning etc. The steel threaded rod has been cleaned of surface rust and lightly oiled. One of the small brass guide pins is missing and one of the little screws has been replaced over the years. Neither affect the stability of the assembly. We encourage potential buyers to make use of the 24 images to satisfy themselves of condition and encourage any enquiries.
