Up for bid is a pair of French-style antique brass
candlesticks with boy figural stems. The sticks are 6 ¾ to 6 7/8 inches tall
and the bases are 3 1/8 inches in diameter.
The sockets accommodate 3/4 inch diameter candles. They have hollow domed bases with central
nuts. The stems are figures of boys in
18th C French dress with daggers, holding aloft the balusters for
the sockets. The sockets do unscrew as
shown. There are no marks.
Condition on the sticks is fairly good. There are some minor bends so they do not
stand exactly straight, some wax deposits, and normal wear of use. A fun old pair of candlesticks.
