Antique Silver German Candlesticks

Featured item of the week this week is this fabulous Pair of Large Antique German Silver Candlesticks. They are very ornate and have rounded bodies with baluster shaped bases and they have an Art Nouveau look to them. There are no straight lines to them whatseover. They are extremely decorative having an embossed floral, leaf and scroll patterns. At the top of the bases towards the middle of them is an engraved pattern which I can best describe as an icicle curtain. They stand on 4 equally decorative wide scroll feet which have the embossed floral decoration on them. On the wide bases of each there are two large ornate oval shaped cartouches and one is engraved with "1871-1901" and in the other one there are two very very fancy entwined letters of "AB".
