Help with age if possible

Hi guys I picked up these brass candlesticks today at a thrift store. I was attracted to them because of the style, but seeing as they were only £4.00 for the pair I loved them even more . I tried a magnet on them and it didnt stick so I am guessing but could be wrong that they are brass.
I just think they are cool as they are but I am wondering is there age to them and do you agree with my thoughts to leave them as they are and maybe not clean them? Thanks Sean

UPDATE : I think I have found them online and I have since found the stamp that makes the The Diamond Prince

These are nice, I always buy them if they are cheap enough too. All I know is that the earlier ones usually have a seam down the sides.

 

Thank you so much, when you say a seam do you mean it like two pieces together? There doesnt seem to be a seam if you excuse my pun

 

Yes, cast in two halves.
I took some quite nice ones to auction last year, didn’t get much for them but £4 is a bargain. Mine didn’t have the seams either.
Really good clear pictures!

Thank you a very interesting read. I am wondering do you think the rod, in the bottom, is to push up? There is some wax in the top holder but I am wondering if that is what the rod is for? Thanks for your help

 

Have they both got the rod? Looks a bit thin to push up a thick candle.
Need to see a picture of the top holders.

 

Yes both have a rod, the top has wax residue inside both so I will need to clean that to see.

 

I think I have found them on ebay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ANTIQUE-...a=0&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

 

Google Queen of diamonds candlesticks which seem to have a similar design as yours.

 

I’ve seen others that look closer than these.

 

Yes I found them and added to my question https://oldcopper.org/special_topics/diamond_candlesticks.php

 

I would clean them but it’s up to your personal preference.

 

Thanks to the ebay photos I looked at the base and its stamped The Diamond Prince so I think the search is over thank you for your help - Sean
