Condition Report
Both candlesicks display general surface scratches, contact marks and wear. Both are quite heavily tarnished and they would benefit from a clean and polish. One of the candlesticks leans to one side and the base does not sit completely flat and is lifting on one side. All the hallmarks and part hallmarks are clear and legible.
