AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of elegant candlesticks in Portuguese silver, contrasted with the Lisbon Crown punch, corresponding to a fineness of 833 thousandths. Manufacturing work attributed to Manuel dos Santos, presenting classical and balanced lines, with a turned shaft and a cut bas e of traditional-inspired design.

The sobriety of the design, combined with the quality of the finish, places these pieces within Portuguese production in the first half of the 19th century, c. 1822–1843

Pieces of good presence, ideal both for decorative use and for a collection.
