Pair of Shell Candlesticks

About the Item

Pair of shell candlesticks. Decorated with pearlescent, slender bodies, a wide round base, while the elongated and slightly sharpened bodies at the bottom lead to a turned top cup. Casquinha, a metal alloy often used as a substitute for silver, gives the pieces a sophisticated shine, although the metal shows signs of oxidisation and patina, indicating antiquity. Signs of heavy use and rusty.
