Comments
The candlesticks have thin columnar shafts with reeding around their lower half, below a ring. They stand on square, cove-molded bases that have bands of beading near the top and near the bottom. The candle cups curve inward and support removable, square bobeches, which have beaded edges. The castings are heavy.
