Condition
Overall in good original condition. The gilt bronze surfaces present with some surface scratches, a few minute abrasions, areas of rubbing and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The interior of the leaves at the base and recessed areas of the flowers at the top with oxidation. The interior of the bobèche with surface soiling and wax remnants from use. A very poetic candlestick.
