This pair of finely engraved and chased cast brass gilded candlesticks feature a triangular-form base inclusive of openwork crosses. The stem and central knops are elegantly realized with a diamond-and-flower motif with the negative space etched in finely striated horizontal lines. A leaf-stylized motif forms the candle cup.
