Condition
Overall in very good condition. With some light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. With remnants of wax residue in candle cups from previous use. Some oxidation to the patina on one of the standard below the candle cup. Both pieces have been recently polished to remove minor surface tarnishing. Each presents with a subtle, textural surface decoration that is inherent in the making.
