More Information

Overall condition is fair. The bases are lacking covers, exposing the weighted insides. The bases are quite heavily dented, peppered with many small dents. There is some splitting concentrated at the corners. There is some wear and loss of definition to the decoration on the bases. The hallmarks are moderately worn, but are still legible.

One of the columns has large splits around the sides, and possible signs of repair. Both columns have a moderate amount of denting, scratching and wear. The detail is moderately worn and has loss definition.

The capitals are in fair order. There is some splitting and denting to the high points of the decoration. All decoration is crisp and clear. Sconces appear to be detachable, but are currently stuck in the capitals.

Both candlesticks show general scratching and wear commensurate with age and use.
