AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of two-light candlesticks in solid Sterling silver 925, made in Mexico, probably mid-20th century.
Very beautiful modernist design, with an asymmetrical and sculptural line: elongated body slightly wavy, off-center foot, and two candle holders shaped like chalices.
Each candlestick bears under its base the hallmarks “HECHO EN MEXICO” and “STERLING”, visible in detail in the photographs, attesting to Mexican manufacture in Sterling silver 925/1000.
Dimensions of each candlestick:
Length: about 21 cm
Height: about 12 cm
Total weight of the pair: 675 g.
Generally good condition for its age. Presence of signs of use, small scratches, marks, and significant natural patina of the silver.
The candlesticks are deliberately presented uncleaned and unpolished in order to preserve their old patina. They can, of course, be polished by their future owner if they wish to restore the silver’s shine.
Sold as an identical matched pair.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and show precisely the condition as well as the various hallmarks.
Careful, protected shipping with tracking.
