These beautiful candlesticks have a really nice, brutalist, slightly hammered, "J-shaped design", with two-tiered, twisted arms beneath each candle holder, both of which looks like shallow bowls or saucers, with sharp points at their centers, and measure at about 7 & 1/2 to 8 cm in diameter. Each base is composed of two, hammered, art nouveau-style feet, that resemble butterfly wings (see photos.)

Pieces are in very good, original and vintage condition, with light marks, signs of age and traces of previous usage commensurate with time, as well as a wonderful patina of time, on the overall structures, bases, arms, bodies, candle holders and points, as can be expected for their age (see multiple photos.)

One candlestick (see the 1 on the left in photos), leans slightly, and is about 1 cm taller than the other, and some of the which is an indication that these were handmade, and only contributes to their overall charm and elegance. They are solid and sturdy.

We opted to only gently dust and clean these, with respect to their original patina of time, but one could polish them more, if desired.
