Pair of George III short brass candlesticks with tapered, baluster shaped stem with drip flange sitting on square bases, English circa 1790-1800.
Later Georgian examples such as these were constructed with a slightly softer brass alloy of a rich golden colour and tended to be finished with more care. These examples incorporate an interesting method of attaching the hollow column to the foot by spreading the ‘tang’ after insertion in the foot until tight.
