Condition Report
Both candlesticks display general surface scratches, marks, nicks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Numerous small dints and bumps throughout, also some heavier scratches. There are several small splits in the metal around the base of one of the columns and a flood of solder, indicating a possible repair? Some small holes starting to appear in the embossed decoration of the capitals. One of the nozzles can be removed, however the other appears jammed in place. Some distortion and rubbing to hallmarks but they are still legible.
