    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Is the metal tinted green, or is that just a trick of the camera?

    IMG_3083.JPG IMG_3085.JPG IMG_3084.JPG IMG_3087.JPG It's brass color but don't know if solid or plated. It's not a heavy duty metal but more like thin sheet that has cracked on some places.

    Hi,
    I am getting a Spanish vibe about the 1970s with these. I used to see a lot of chandeliers from Spain that looked like these.

    They look cute, but they don't look that old. I've seen a LOT of antique candlesticks and the patina/shading/tarnishing (whatever!) on the brass just doesn't look right. I agree with Greg in that they're probably late 20th century.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't think antique either but just can't find anything with similar design.
    Gregslass, you've seen the same or identical design?

    I remember reading a blog of an antiques collector once (this is some years ago), and he described brass as 'everyday, everyman's gold'.
