<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drew, post: 13106199, member: 3235&quot;]What concerns me as them being 19th c. is the prominent visible seem on both top and bottom castings - we usually see more refinement on formal designs. This German pair of mine is ca. 1860, an entirely different design, but cast in 5 pieces each, no seams visible.&nbsp; It was time consuming to grind and buff parts and we tend to see the rougher versions on later candle sticks..... molds were sold and recasts made, sometimes many decades after the originals were made. I could certainly be wrong, but just noting the possibility of them being a 20 c pair.<img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/18june2017-077-jpg.473317/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
