Condition
Overall in very good condition. Each candlestick with some light surface scratches and dings to the surface. The nickel-plated surfaces with some very light pitting to the central standard and arms. Each with some light rubbing and discoloration to the metal surfaces, localized to the junction of the arm branches and where the branches are soldered to the central standard. Both candlesticks with a few light discolorations to the underside of each candlecup rim, which are not visible when righted. The interiors of the candle cups with very light wax residue consistent with very gentle use. A wonderful example of the form showing great scale and construction. This particular form exhibits a more sophisticated construction with a four-arm configuration showing a great geometric composition.
