Condition
Overall, the condition of both candlesticks is good, with some dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. The top of one of the candlesticks has probably been reattached (just below the branches). The terrasse of the same candlestick is very slightly warped, causing it to rock very slightly on a flat surface. There is some rubbing to the patina, particularly to the high points of the stems. There is some greening to the insides of the candle holders.
