About the Item

A pair of elegant and pure sterling silver 925 large antique hallmarked three light candelabra in the late 19th century taste. These fine candelabra have shaped oval bases and fluted stems. All the nozzles are fully detachable to assist in cleaning. They are also all hallmarked tested and original. The branches terminate in faceted spool-shaped sockets with a detachable nozzle. There is a further central socket with an alternate detachable finial and nozzle, which can turn the candelabra into a two light. The branches pull-off and one can use them as candlesticks alone.
