crystal glass, nickel-plated metal

A decorative pair of candelabra. Old marks and scratches to the glass and blemishes to the metal, consistent with age. Good quality crystal glass, possibly Baccarat. The glass edges to the top of the candle sconces have been polished and now have curved edges rather than being square. Very minor variations suggest the pair may be associated with each other. An attractive pair, ready for use and display.
