I am looking for any information about this pair of torchieres. They were purchased at an obscure flea market that sold everything from tires to shower seats to grandmother's vintage Corellware. I found them to be very stirking and grand, if you will. They only attractive item there. The price was unbelievable, $14. I am quite sure they have more value, even if it is merely decorative.
I have searched the internet attempting to identify a "period". That left me even more confused. I found like similar examples catagorized as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Arts & Crafts. They appear to be brass. Though, I would not call them heavy. I do not have a scale available. They are in excellent condition, no scratches, dings, dents, nor knicks. The deminisons are:
Height: 25in, 63.5cm
Drip plate: 5in, 12.7cm
Beaded Strands: 10cm, 25.4cm
Base: 6in, 15.24cm
If anyone has any knowledge or information about this pair, please, share with me. I appreciate any and all feedback.
Warmest regards,
