Of very large size (25") and heavy (13 pounds each), these bronze pricket candlesticks are Japanese in origin, late Meiji, and are signed with an etched mark on the bottom of each. They both have a very deep and rich patina, very dark brown, with no abrasions or dents. The top lotus form cups are separate, and slip tightly into the stem of the sticks. The lotus cups are nicely and simply decorated, and each handle features the head of a shishi or foo lion, and tapers nicely at the bottom of the handle. With great scale and elegant form, this pair of candlesticks are striking and work well in any decor.
