Pair of antique, late 19th Century French brass church altar Candlesticks with cameo details on bases of Mary, Joseph and Jesus. These classic Victorian age (Belle Epoch, in France) columnar candle holders have 3-sided, hollow bases with baroque style cast relief designs with oval, wreath-framed cameos of Mary, Joseph and Jesus in the center of each side as to make the candle holders appropriate for viewing on any side. These elaborate bases are topped with neoclassical fluted columns topped with neoclassical urns which hold the candle sockets and whose rims serve as beboches to catch candle wax drips. These tall candlesticks measure 21" high and 5 1/4" wide at the bottom of the bases and weigh a hefty 2 lbs, 14oz each. The sockets are made to accommodate standard 7/8" wide taper candles. These candlesticks are in very good condition with patina and wear from age. Although these candlesticks were originally designed for church use and carry motifs for religious reflection, they are a stunning set suitable to illuminate a large formal table with candlelight or to use as accent lamps on side tables or a mantel with electric candles and shades.
