How can you tell if a candle holder is antique brass?

How can you tell if a candle holder is antique brass?
To tell if a candle holder is solid antique brass, you can try placing a magnet on it. Brass is not magnetic, so if there is any attraction, the piece is unlikely to be solid brass. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of candle holders.
