A beautiful pair of old Sheffield candlesticks with original removable bobeches. What makes these so rare and superb are the period old Sheffield silver peg lamps with their original burners.
Peg lamps themselves are not uncommon, but they are inevitably in pewter, glass, or brass. The only other Sheffield pair I have seen was is a book on early lighting, described as highly unusual and rare; 12" tall
A very rare and wonderful gilt bronze central 5 arm girandole depicting "The Last of the Mohicans"; signed Cornelius, one of the most respected 19th century lighting manufacturers
Aside from the rarity, this piece is distinguised by its untouched original surface and the presence of all 45 of the original lusters; 22" tall by 16 " maximum width
