- favrile glass and patinated bronze with original snuffer
Condition
Overall in good condition. With significant surface residue throughout and dirt and dust to the interior of the candle cups. With discoloration to the surface of the patinated bronze and oxidation as result of the humid atmosphere where the piece has been stored. With original snuffer. Lacking original bobeches. The glass with some surface dirt and a few scratches. Two of the glass elements with cracks and one with a loss to the rim, which appears to have an amateur restoration to the cover the loss. There is a slight color variation to the glass across the four glass candle holders, which is a possible indication that they may have been re-blown. Two of the rim showing a beveled edge, while the other two have flatter rims.
