Condition Report
Both candlesticks display general wear, surface marks and scratches and also a little tarnishing. There are various minor nicks in the metal all over and also some small dints in places, especially to edges and borders. On one of the candelabrum, there appears to have been a repair to one side of the oval base and also possibly around the base of the tapering column. On this same candelabrum the upper section appears jammed and cannot be removed and there is also damage to the drip pans on either side, one in particular has large splits in the metal. The other candelabrum appears to be in slightly better condition, although one of the detachable nozzles is jammed and cannot be removed. Hallmarks and part hallmarks are clear and legible.
