DESCRIPTION

Each fitted with a brass liner to the nozzle, the stem with acorn and blade knops raised on a high stepped domed and line-molded base. The bases also weighted with lead.

Lignum Vitae is native to the tropical and sub-tropical areas of South and Central America. It is a dense wood and is excellent for turning, consequently one sees it in candlesticks.

A desirable and visually appealing pair of candlesticks that are exceptionally rare.

 

English, or possibly colonial, c. 1680-1700
