Found some nice pieces need help

Hello to everyone
I'm new here and I found some nice pieces in a deserted antique store.
This is a brass fruit or flower pot I think I'm not really sure but I'd like to know what it is and maybe how old it is. There are no markings on it.

 

it's a jardinière. without a mark it's hard to say who made it. stylewise around 1900.

 

I also found this beautiful marble brass candle holder I wish I could find out more about these pieces..

 

Thank you !! Where could a mark be found on this piece I don't see one but it seems quite old.
And they are used for??

An arm could be missing from the candleholder.

 

Ok thanks!
Yes I was aware that an arm might be missing but there doesn't seem to be something missing or broken on it.

 

Is that one arm inserted into one of the many slots seen in the enlarged photo?

There are many slots......missing many arms?

I'm really no help here.....just guessing......wait for others.

 

Welcome, Chris.

Jardinière is a fancy name for a planter, so you put plants in them. That is why there is a separate tray inside, to protect the decorative part against moisture.

 

Thanks!!!

 

I will change the spelling to shard'n'air then

 

I'm sure everyone will understand that.
