Seller: momandsonpickers2022 ✉️ (14) 100%, Location: McKinney, Texas, US, Ships to: US & many other countries, Item: 315009862914 ANTIQUE Neoclassical French Empire Style Ornate Brass Wood Candlesticks 1900-30 .

A pair of 16” tall ornate early 20th century (1900-1930) Neoclassical French Empire style ornate brass and wood candlesticks. These elegant candlesticks have been in my personal collection for over a decade. I purchased them at a multi-generational estate sale in Dallas, Texas, back in 2010. Considering they are over 100 years old , the pair are in very good shape. (I’m nearing 70 and I wish I could say the same about me!) Nonetheless…

These candlesticks are elegantly fashioned in a French Empire style and are made of wood and cast brass with a gilt finish. The bases have a bit of a layered tri-form shape with a scrolled design. The column sits on three ribbed legs split over a central pinecone shape and decorated with a simple floral design. The carved wood columns have a reeded design and appear to have been painted black, although it’s hard to say if this finish is original without forensic examination. If you look closely, you will see very slight flea bite dings on the column of one of the candlesticks.

The nozzles are cast with a geometric design, and the boboches are flared with a textured floral design that complements the floral design at the legs. The brass etched sections are in excellent condition.

While I have never burned candles in them, it appears that someone may have in the past as there is what appears to be a tad of blue/green wax on the base of one. However, this could be brass oxidation. Oxidized brass (which happens as  a natural result of brass reacting with oxygen in the air ) usually presents with greenish or bluish hues, an effect sometimes called “patina.” The integrity of oxidized brass remains intact, and the patina can always be polished away.

There are also some slight chips along the black surface that cover the bases. I have provided photos of every possible angle, please look at them VERY CAREFULLY. Feel free to contact me before buying if you have any questions or concerns.

Each candlestick is 16” tall with a 5.5” bottom diameter and weigh a sturdy 4 pounds,6 ounces each. The pair will arrive at your home well-protected, well-packaged, and well-loved. Ready for their next journey. Perhaps in a MOVIE PROP DEPARTMENT?

## END OF DESCRIPTION ##

 

At Mom and Son Pickers , our goal is to provide unique and one-of-a-kind items, from vintage and contemporary jewelry to art glass, ceramics, pottery, and more. We buy from all over the country, and many things come from our own personal collections. Although we are relatively new sellers here, we are far from “new” when it comes to “picking.” We have both been collecting for decades.  

We will be rolling out hundreds of amazing items over the next few weeks. Please visit our Mom and Son Pickers eBay store often to view our growing selection. Make sure to “Save” us as a “Favorite” so you won’t miss new inventory. If you have questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to contact us via eBay before buying.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to scroll down and thoroughly read our SHIPPING POLICY which also includes other important information.

Most of our inventory is Vintage or Pre-Owned, therefore, some items may show age-appropriate signs of wear (like marks, scratches, chips, nicks, or dings) and may contain unseen flaws or imperfections in addition to the information listed or photographs provided. Please note that some color variations may be caused by camera and lighting conditions.

Dates attributed , unless other evidence of provenance exists, are educated guesses based on style, design, texture, research, appraisals, or anecdotal information. But we aren’t experts, and we could be wrong. The sizes posted are close approximations and not exact measurements.
