ESTATE ITEMS THIS WEEK WILL BE LISTED WITH NO HIDDEN RESERVES. PLEASE SEE ALL OF MY AUCTIONS FOR STERLING, CLOISONNE, AND VARIOUS OTHER COLLECTIBLE/DECORATIVE ITEMS - JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. This auction is for a wonderful pair of candle sticks. These Egyptian Revival pieces are made of marble of two colors and non-magnetic metal. I am not sure it these are bronze or brass and the gold appears gilded - see the adornments on the white marble bases. They are heavy with each weighing 2.5 pounds. Each base measures 4.25 by 2.5 inches and they are 8.75 inches tall. The only damage that I can find is seen in photos 7 and 8 with very small chips of the white marble - the chips are on the opposite sides of the same candle stick. This is not very noticeable at all and does not detract from the beauty of these candle sticks. Please see the photos for complete details. Please ask if you have any questions. The buyer is to pay actual shipping and insurance. I will gladly combine shipping for a discount on multiple items purchased. I have included photos 9 through 12 of other items that I have listed this week.
These pieces came out of a beautiful mansion and date to the late 1800's. THESE ARE ANTIQUES.
