Pair of Brass Candlesticks

This is a pair of polished brass candlesticks, exhibiting a classic, somewhat traditional design. Each candlestick features a trumpet-shaped bobeche or cup at the top, designed to hold a candle, with a gently flared rim. Below the bobeche, the stem is elegantly turned and shaped, displaying a series of coves, beads, and baluster-like elements, creating a graceful profile. The stem seamlessly transitions into a round, stepped base with a wide diameter, providing stability. The overall color is a bright, reflective golden brass, suggesting a polished finish. There are visible reflections on the surfaces, indicating a relatively smooth and shiny texture. While generally well-maintained, there are some minor signs of wear consistent with age and use, such as subtle scuffs or localized tarnishing that catches the light in certain areas, particularly on the bases and the curves of the stems. No specific maker's marks, signatures, or stamps are discernible from the provided images. The style is indicative of decorative household items from the mid-20th century to contemporary times, possibly even replicating earlier traditional designs. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with well-formed components and a symmetrical design, common for mass-produced or semi-mass-produced decorative metalware.
