Pair Of Silver Candlesticks France, By Tetard Frères

Pair of plain thick silver toilet candlesticks, melted and chiseled. The foot with an animated outline is underlined by a frieze of gadroons above the plinth. On the terrace with tiers of nets raises a small bell embellished with gadroons as a reminder on the knot and the square shoulder with depressed angles. The shaft is short, square in section and stepped. It carries a cylindrical socket and a bobèche, both embellished with nets. French work from the beginning of the 20th century.
