Description

I inherited this pair of candlestick holders from a great aunt who was a world-traveling art history professor at Kent State. I know absolutely nothing about them, but I believe they're bronze (based on the turquoise patina in all of the indentations). They are marked on the bottom as having cost $86 for the pair. My guess is that she purchased them 50 or more years ago. I have searched for hours and hours with Google and Google Image Search but have found nothing even remotely similar.

Dimensions: 10" tall, 6.75" diameter at the base, 1.5" diameter of the tube and 3.5" diameter of the top flare.
