AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


stunning and substantial pair of vintage candlesticks crafted from high-quality red brass (a copper-rich alloy). These pieces are remarkably heavy, weighing approximately 1.2 kg each (2.4 kg in total), which indicates solid casting rather than hollow production.
The candlesticks feature a classic Baluster-style design with a wide, stable base. Due to the high copper content, the metal shows a beautiful reddish hue when polished, offering a more sophisticated look than standard yellow brass. They are in original vintage condition with a natural patina, which can be polished to a high "rose gold" shine if desired. A perfect addition for collectors of heavy metalware or classic interior decor.
• Material: Solid Red Brass (High Copper Content)
• Total Weight: Approx. 2.4 kg
• Period: Approx. 1950-1980
• Condition: Good vintage condition with natural signs of age and patina. No structural damage.
Versatile Candle Compatibility: These candlesticks are uniquely designed to accommodate two different candle sizes. The inner socket is perfect for standard taper candles, while the wider upper rim is specifically designed to hold pillar candles or larger church-style candles. This dual-purpose feature makes them both practical and elegant for various lighting styles.
