The baluster stems are embellished with acanthus motifs and winged or mythical figural caryatid brackets, all raised on elaborate shaped rocaille bases. Left candlestick is shorter as it is missing a piece of the center stock. The leaflets around the each bud or candleholders have holes indicating missing prisms, the arms of the candlesticks also move allowing for varied arrangements, the candlestick on the right shows more tarnish. Both appear to be in good to fair used condition, right candlestick measured. 13" x 18" Location-Parlor Room
