Condition
Both candlesticks are leaning slightly to one side. One candlestick on the right of the catalogue illustration can be disassembled into 6 parts. The other can be neither disassembled, not assembled tightly. There is a ca. 0.5 cm casting flaw on the upper keyfret frieze, and a filled-in drilled hole on the base of the candlestick on the right of the catalogue illustration. Both candlesticks with losses to the turquoise enamels, some probably restored to a later period. There is overall light wear to the gilding.
