Condition

Overall in good original condition. When viewed in person, the patina displays a brown color with nuances of green and red. The surfaces with a few scattered surface scratches, minor abrasions, light wear to the patina to the raised portion of the design, light surface soiling concentrated to the recessed portions of the design. Very minor bending of the center arms of the candelabras, not visually distracting. A very elegant pair of candelabra, displaying the fluid lines and naturalist inspiration of French Art Nouveau.
