Two Early 18th Century Brass Ejector Candlesticks

Two early 18th Century brass ejector candlesticks, the dished drip pans above a knopped column stem and a 12 petal round base. Note: It is normal to date brass candlesticks some 10 to 20 years later than the fashionable silver models of the same pattern as only the wealthier members of society could afford the silver examples and it took some years for the fashions to percolate through society.
