Russian signed candlesticks.    They are in excellent condition. You have probably never seen a pair like these before ! They have seams going up and down each side of them. The signature of the maker is in the front on the base of each one. I have provided a close-up of the Russian writing for you to read, but I cannot interpret it.  I would date these to around the early 19th century (c1800), or perhaps earlier. I have others similar to these but I cannot get to them right now. I have not polished or cleaned them, as I prefer my metalware as-is. They stand about 8 3/4" high, almost 4" across the square bases. There is what appears to be a very old repair to one of the candlesticks, and I have provided close-ups of that area. Hardly noticeable. Other than what was mentioned above, NO repairs, NO breaks, NO cracks, NO holes, NO missing pieces, but NO candle wax ! I encourage you to read my ABOUT ME page by clicking HERE.
