Comments

The pair of candlesticks has a straight-sided (no taper or entasis) columnar shaft below a wide, integral bobeche or lip to catch candle drippings and above a square base with a large cove molding.  A cluster of four narrow rings decorates the top of the column, and more rings are at its bottom.
