Lot 352: Giverny Pair Rococo Style Silver Plate Candlestick

Description

Description:

Pair of tall, ornately cast candlesticks in the Rococo revival style, with a scalloped trumpet drip-pan top, a shaped baluster stem with shell and scroll relief, and a tri-form scrolled base decorated with shell motifs. The underside of one candlestick retains its original retail tag reading "Giverny Silver Candlestick," with an original price of $238.00, identifying this as a decorative silver-plated reproduction rather than an antique piece — a nice-quality decorative pair rather than a period antique. Each candlestick measures 15 1/4" tall with a base approximately 5 1/2" across.

Condition Report:

Good decorative condition, wear commensurate with age and handling. The silver plating shows overall tarnishing and iridescent discoloration throughout, consistent with age and storage rather than damage. No dents or losses noted to the cast details. The original retail tag remains affixed to the base of one candlestick.
