Condition
**In good condition with some repairs. Each of the candelabra has one of the branches repaired on its base plate where it fits into the main standard; one of these is soldered, the other riveted, but both are done so that the branch can no longer be detached. One branch (next to the riveted repair) has had its base plate cut slightly to fit, as it appears the branches were repaired out of their correct, labeled orientation. Each candlesocket has a detachable nozzle, three lacking and some stuck. The winding vine on one is slightly loose but secure. Nice detail and heavy oxidation in the recesses. Silvering good with no losses noted. Each marked on one foot (one at the base, one at the top) with the Elkington crowned "E & Co." and "E/M/&Co." trademarks and the date letters "N" and "S" for 1852 and 1857, respectively.
