A charming pair of compact traveling candlesticks tucked into their old burgundy velvet case—a small decorative object with wonderful period character.
Measurements
Case: 3.75" W × 3.75" D × 1.75" H
Candlesticks: approximately 2.5" diameter each
Why I Love It
Two low candlesticks fit together compactly inside the velvet case
Beautiful beaded edge and concentric-ring detail
The rich, timeworn burgundy velvet makes the presentation especially lovely
Traveling candlesticks were designed to provide portable candlelight and are sometimes referred to as campaign candlesticks or “Brighton Buns”
Such a fun piece for a bedside table, writing desk, or collected display—and particularly fitting for anyone who loves Regency-era-inspired interiors
Condition
Vintage condition with tarnish, discoloration and oxidation to the metal, particularly inside one candlestick
Metal has not been tested; I cannot confirm whether these are silver, silver plate or another silver-colored metal
