PAIR ANTIQUE CANDELABRA EARLY 19th C. MASSIVE CAST BRASS. POLAND RUSSIA ORIGIN

Description

SUPERB PAIR OF CAST BRASS CANDELABRUM EASTERN EUROPE
ENORMOUS BRASS CANDELABRUM
Each having three candle holders. Fine lathe turned
details and some hand engraving on the arms.
Early 19th century cast brass with huge bases.
Old type hand worked screws on the candle holders,
and machine worked screw at the bottom of the column.
Screws at top of the columns are locked in place and
cannot be budged. These were electrified at one time
we believe, because all candle holders, saucers, top
of columns, and the bases have closed holes. This
is seldom seen, not the electrification, but reversing
to candles.
It was done with a red brass so is easily
seen. They may have been used in a church or
synagogue. Typical style in Eastern Europe.....
Poland, Russia, and neighboring countries.
