The upper portion of the waisted shaped column features a panelled quatrefoil shaped knop embellished with lobed incurved designs to each corner. Each panelled column is further ornamented with a plain circular knop to the lower portion. The incurved stepped base of each candlestick has a plain collet style rim. The sunken well of each base is embellished with an impressive contemporary engraved crest of a crescent between two laurel branches. Such cast examples of this period are uncommon and indicate the high quality of the pair; these candlesticks are the finest examples of their type you could hope to acquire. Condition These antique 20th century silver candlesticks are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
