HELP-brass or bronze satyr children on claw monopodia tripod(candleholders?)

By charleshjr, 27 November, 2012
Description

This is a set of (2) of what appears to be split-hoofed cherub candle holders.  I realize the pictures aren't great so I will do my best to describe what is shown.  One of the items has what seems to be a #6459 on the bottom of one hoof and a # 5 possibly on another. While the other item has possibly a #319 on a completely different spot on the back of one leg and possibly the #219 on the back of another leg.I know the description is vague but my eyes aren't great.  I do not know if these are brass or bronze(i believe brass).The detail seems very nice to me (but what do I know thats why I'm here). If anyone can give me an idea of worth or who made these i would appreciate it.

These are based on Greek mythology, they are Satyr babies.
