Striking pair of 18th century antique pewter candlesticks. This pair
have simple tulip-shaped candlecups with fluting on the bottom one-third
of the cups. The cup sits atop a flared stand that tops the stem which,
in turn, flares downward and terminates in fluting on the stem's bottom
half. The stem sits atop a bell-shape dome, edged in beading that has
all but disappeared after centuries of cleaning. The stick then
steps down to a square foot. The vertical edge of the foot bears the
touchmark of a crowned flower. Inside of the crown are initials, which
though so tiny they are next to impossible to read, appear to either be
“H N” or “N N”. Circa 1780. French. There is a small crack in each
candlecup. Otherwise they are in excellent condition with a mellow
patina. 9 1/2" tall with a 4" square base. (#4707) $625/pr The last photo shows the three different pairs of pewter candlesticks being listed in this update. |
