Overall very good condition. The candlesticks present with a rich russet brown, green and patina with minor light surface scratches, abrasions, areas of discoloration, rubbing, and light surface soil, oxidation, and wax residue to the recessed areas, all consistent with age and gentle use. One candlestick with a small break to the open stem design at the top which has been stabilized and touched up with paint. The other candlestick with scattered minor losses to the patina on stem and outer edges of the base leaves. The candleholders with wax residue. A rare and very delicate design by Tiffany.
