DescriptionPair of brass candlesticks of columnar form, each hollow stem cast in two halves and peened onto cast bases. Each has a cylindrical moulded socket set above a large square knop, which nicely flows into two smaller ones lower along the stem. Each corner of the top knop carries a shell design. Their slightly domed square bases each have four petals, also taking the form of stylized scallop shells.
