Description from the seller
Pair of Silver Candlesticks – Tall Classical Design with Ornate Foliate Holders
Portugal assay mark (1938
Description
Elegant pair of silver candlesticks of tall and slender proportions, featuring a refined classical design.
Each candlestick stands on a circular spreading base with a moulded edge, supporting a long, smooth and slightly tapering stem. The upper candle holder provides the principal decorative element, richly worked in relief with stylised leaves, palmettes and scrolling foliate motifs, finished with an attractive scalloped outline.
The contrast between the polished minimalist stems and the elaborate floral-inspired candle holders gives the pair a particularly elegant appearance.
