The protuberant base of the body is wrapped with petal forms in relief complete with stylized pistils in their center composed of a cylindrical rod capped with a spherical form.

Two streamlined swooping arms extend in opposite directions from this central stem with pyramidal voids- replete with foliate detailing in their center- where they adjoin the body of the candelabra. These arms also conclude in dappled, hand hammered candleholders with circular bobeches. With their fastidious attention to detail, clean modernist lines and beautiful craftsmanship, these candleholders promise to add more than a touch of elegance to any table setting regardless of the style of decor. They are in excellent vintage condition. Signed Black, Starr and Frost Gorham Sterling"

In 1874 the firm was renamed Black Starr & Frost and, from 1908, Black Starr & Frost Inc. In 1876 Black Starr & Frost moved to 251 Fifth Avenue. After the merging with Gorham Corporation the company was renamed Black, Starr & Frost-Gorham Inc. (1929), dating this pair of candelabras to this period.The are approximately 60 ounces.
