AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exquisite pair of candlesticks that will add a touch of elegance and classic distinction to any room. Perfect for collectors or those seeking decorative pieces with history and character.
-Origin: Spain.
*Manufacturer: Marked with the prestigious Alpadur brand (specialists in high-quality alpaca items).
-Material: Alpaca (also known as German silver), a bright and durable silver-plated alloy.
-Style: Classic/Neoclassical Revival. The design evokes the formality and symmetry of classic European styles, with a sturdy base and elegantly curved arms.
-Estimated Period: Mid-20th Century (c. 1940-1960).
-Technique: Cast and Silver Plated. The main body, shaft (column), and arms are assembled from cast pieces, and the surface is coated with a layer of silver, characteristic of alpaca silver from that period.
-Ornamentation: They feature a clean, symmetrical design, with the ornamentation concentrated on the turned shape of the central shaft and the stepped bobeches (candle holders). The style is understated and refined, with a characteristic metallic sheen.
-Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The alpaca silverplated retains a remarkable luster. They may show slight signs of age and a reddish patina in some areas, as well as a surface patina in areas that are difficult to polish. This is entirely expected in a piece of this age and material, and it adds to its authenticity. They are complete and ready for use.
-Measurements:
*Total Height: 37 cm
*Length: 25.5-33.5 cm
*Base Diameter: 14 cm (more detailed measurements in the photos)
*Candle Capacity: 5 lights per candlestick
