Condition
Overall very good condition. The bronze with scattered minor surface scratches and abrasions consistent with age and gentle handling. One candlestick with a very small casting flaw on the outer edge of the rim, inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The interiors of the candle cups with wax from old candles. One of Jarvie’s most graceful and elegant candlestick designs in beautiful condition.
