Condition

Overall in very good condition. The bronze surfaces throughout retain a rich dark brown and russet brown patina, showing gentle rubbing and light surface soiling in some of the recessed contours consistent with age and use. Each of the candle cups retains the original bobeches. With period snuffer, which is stored and inset on the reverse side of the standard, possibly re-patinated as it presents slightly more green in color than the rest of the candelabrum.
