Description
- bronze
- each 48cm. high; 1ft. 7in.
Condition
In overall good original condition. They are slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There is a hairline crack in the tree stump of one candelabrum but this is not too noticeable. The gilding is missing on the same one on part of the scroll and flower head at the front. The casting is of good quality though there are some casting flaws resulting in small pin sized holes on one.
