Condition
Overall in very good condition. The bronze surfaces throughout retain an exceptionally rich russet brown and dark green patina. With a few light surface scratches, rubbing to the patina, and a few small areas of minor surface discoloration consistent with age and gentle use. The candlestick appears to retain all the original hardware, including the snuffer. One minor area of wax to the rim adjacent to the candleholder. An attractive example of this rare model showing a richly colored patina throughout.
