Joliette Verified independent store

Tall brass candlesticks with slender cylindrical stems, ringed mid-shaft with a turned collar detail, and set on wide stepped circular bases. The drip tray at the top is plain and practical. The patina has deepened unevenly — brighter on the shaft, darker at the base — in the way of pieces that were used and handled rather than polished and displayed. The scale and simplicity suggest ecclesiastical or bourgeois domestic origin; either way, they have presence. Sold as a pair. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: 5"dia x 16"H Show more
