candelabra measures 10" tall & about 12" in widt...h / base measures about 4 1/4" / candle openings are 1" in width with a depth of 1 1/4" / quadruple plated silverplate / maker's mark on bottom states "Wilcox Silverplate Co, Meriden, CT, #2752" / there is normal silverplate tarnish on the candelabra & a green tarnish to the vine-like arms giving it a darkened appearance overall / it can be polished or left in its aged state, which is very trendy right now / two of the candle holders are ever-so slightly bent / the candelabra does not sit completely flat but this is not very noticeable / there are a couple of scratches on one point of the base / it is fairly heavy / the scroll work & embossed repoussé designs on each candle holder & the base are quite lovely / overall it is in very good antique condition & makes quite the statement as a display piece
this would be a gorgeous table centerpiece, appealing to all types of decor including Victorian, traditional, even Gothic / would lend some macabre ambience to any Halloween setting with the right props / it's a beautiful, antique silverplate piece that is highly collectible!
