Pair of large candlesticks from a boat 6¼"

This superb, large-footed pair of maritime candlesticks dates from the nineteenth century.

The candlesticks have wonderful weights inside the bases (that you can feel move when you lift them) apparently for keeping them steady during rough and stormy weather. Also their feet are oversized for balance. They are silver-plated.

This conversation piece will withstand lively company on or off the high seas and bring a festive touch to a table setting.
