A PAIR OF GILT-BRONZE AND RED JASPER CANDLESTICKS, PROBABLY ITALIAN, FIRST THIRD OF 19TH CENTURY |

Illustration is accurate. Except one small crack to the foot of one jasper column (not distracting), overall condition is good. Very nice "jewel-like" candlesticks with exquisite chasing and lovely colour of the jasper stone.
