Condition Report
Both candlesticks display general wear including surface scratching, nicks and contact marks, all commensurate with the age and use. Some slight dints and bumps. Heavy tarnishing is visible to both and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Knocks to the sockets so that both appear to be leaning slightly. Also, both nozzles appear jammed in position. Remains of wax candle to one nozzle and socket. The hallmarks and maker's marks are quite rubbed and partly distorted.
