A beautifully aged pair of 19th-century English brass candlesticks in the classic baluster form.
Turned knopped stems rise from square pedestal bases to broad drip trays, giving the pair the substantial proportions and simple elegance characteristic of traditional English brassware. The brass has developed a deep, burnished patina over generations of use — warm rather than shiny, with the small irregularities that make antique brass so much better than new.
The two are very slightly different in height, creating the kind of imperfect symmetry that makes a mantel, dining table or console feel genuinely collected.
