Share

Description

A pair of Chinese Export silver candlesticks

The straight columns of the candlesticks as well as the bases are worked with flowering chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums generally symbolize longevity, fidelity, joy and optimism.  They bloom through the frost

These candlesticks by the “go to” silversmith, Wang Hing , have removable sconces – very much in the western style

Unlike western candlesticks these ones are not filled – all solid silver

Fine condition
