Very rare pair of 18^th century pewter candlesticks with elegant styling.  These 11” candlesticks begin with a wide tulip shaped candle cup that is topped with an exaggerated bobeche.  The cup sits atop a fluted urn.  The urn, which is fluted top and bottom, sits atop a six-sided stem which displays a diamond on each side then steps down to a hexagonal stem which flares down to another fluted urn.  This urn sits upon a wider, fluted dome, which steps down to a hexagonally shaped base.  Each base bears the touchmark of a crowned X.  French, circa 1790.  Tiny, unobtrusive staining but exceptional patination.  This is an excellent pair of antique pewter candlesticks.

The last photo shows the three pairs of candlesticks that I'm adding today.  Be sure to check them all.
