Condition
Overall in very good condition. The bronze surfaces throughout retain a rich russet brown and green patina showing gentle rubbing and light surface soiling in some of the recessed contours consistent with age and gentle use. The candelabrum appears to retain all the original hardware, including the bobeches and snuffer, which display a complementary patina. The interior of the candle cups with some minor surface residue consistent with gentle use. The favrile glass which is blown through the bronze reticulations appears to be original and undisturbed, with surface soiling along the edges adjacent to the metalwork. A fine example of the model, displaying an exceptionally rich and satisfying patina.
