    I haven't seen candelabras like this before.. is it a real one or some sort of a 'project' made off of old parts?

    Are these common? Valuable?

    Maybe just me, but it looks like two wall sconces 'married' to a lamp base. Or are they one piece?

    I think a more modern fantasy piece. That Pineaple finial at top center, is a widely available reproduction.

    That's what I thought too. The base has such a different look.

    I have candle sconces with almost identical 2-arm part that's attached in the middle with a third upstanding candle arm.

    But here's that candelabra I posted pictures of: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Exquis...abra-Griffins-Highly-Decorative-/291410030675

    They look like the sorta candle sconces that you find on old upright pianos. Like this:
