Both candlesticks display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible throughout and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Wear to the plating and the copper is showing through. Minor dints and knock to one of the foot rims. On this same candlestick, there is a break in the join at the base of the column and the column can be twisted around. The maker's marks are clear and legible.
