The larger candlestick has its on the upper surface of the base-disk. The smaller candlestick bears/ hides its inscription on the bottom of its base. The candlesticks differ slightly in size and in the crimping around the perimeter of their bases. Both show exuberant plant forms with fluid harmony, and the charming irregularities of hand-wrought metalwork. The patina has an lustrous ancient sheen, though there is some wear to the tinning revealing some bright copper beneath. And in the candle-holders, some residue of brick-red wax or old polish remains. Please examine photos closely
