Fine Pair Early Geo III Bell Metal Candlesticks

A Fine Pair of Early Geo III Bell Metal Candlesticks, showing early neo-classical influence, with square, deeply dished bases and plain Tuscan columns to traditionally shaped candle holders, cast in two halves and seamed.  As is normally the case, this pair lacks the separate bobeches, or drip pans, but otherwise they survive in fine original order.  The particular allure of Bell Metal is its coppery-gold sheen when burnished (compare & contrast the colour with the photos of the brass candlesticks http://www.domani-devon.com/stock/art-and-objects/good-pair-geo-ii-brass-candlesticks )  For more info check out our blog page http://www.domani-devon.com/news/18th-century-candlesticks-bell-metal-and-brass
