The candelabra is decorated with orchid flowers, and leaves vining around the multi armed structure as if clinging to branches of a tree. This piece is beautifully and delicately detailed, with accents of gold gilding. Woodland fungi form 2 trumpet shaped vases or epergnes with a hidden center “pocket” which may have originally been intended as a spill vase. This piece is in excellent, antique, pre owned condition. I can not find any chips, cracks, touch ups or repairs. The stamp on the base dates it to between 1891 and 1902. (Candles and books not included.)

Measurements: 14”H x11 1/2”W x6 1/2” at the base
Weight: 4 pounds 3 ounces
