Art Nouveau/Deco 3 holder Candelabra

By Nova013, 12 November, 2008
Description

This candelabra holds 3 candles and has an Egyptian type symbol on bottom of each side with a winged "lady" holding a ball on top of her head with deco style lines below and a flower image rising above her.  Each side has a Art Nouveau flowing style handle connected to the candle holder with leaf  type designs on parts of the connecting pieces.  This is in original condition so the brass is worn all over the piece - some of it is silver shaded and some has a brass tint.  Other than the worn spots on the base, there is a small dent on the very bottom on one side and minor scratches on the candle holders and the bottom part.

Re: Art Nouveau/Deco 3 holder Candelabra

Benedict Art Studio, (Onondonga Metal Shop) founded by Harry L Benedict and George N Couse, East Syracuse, New York in 1904. Lack of a nice patina may be a problem but nice item. ~~~~~$200.00 +/-

Re: Art Nouveau/Deco 3 holder Candelabra

I appreciate the information but the name appears to be "Benedici" with an "i" at the end not a "t".  The imprint is very legible and I don't see any indication of the last letter ever being a "t".   Think this could be the same studio?

This site is for identifying and evaluting. It's not really a for sale site. There are many avenues you can pursue. If I were you, I'd send photos to Rago Arts and Auction Center and see if they are interested.
