An exceptionally rendered pair of late 20th-century open barley twist (Solomonic helix) candlestick holders, executed in solid turned and cast brass. Designed in the Neo-Jacobean Arts and Crafts Revival aesthetic, each stick features an intricate open double-twist stem rising from a stepped circular plinth base to a traditional flared sconce cup.

Mechanical assessment reveals robust multi-component assembly held via central tensioning rods. The brass surface exhibits a rich, authentic age-acquired patina with minor localized lacquer wear, surface oxidation inside the nozzles, and micro-scratching consistent with gentle domestic display. The bases show concentric lathe-turning grooves from original manufacture. High-impact decorative architectural assets offering striking geometric symmetry.
