Description
Provenance: From the estate of Dr. Andres Onate, former Dean of East Asian Studies at the University of Arizona. Dr. Onate served in China for the US State Department in the early 1980s and again in the early 1990s. These were most likely purchased in China during the early 1990s.
MEASUREMENTS
14 ½ in (38.8 cm) tall x 6 ½ in (16.5 cm) long x 5 ½ (14.0 cm) in wide. Weighs 5 lbs 3.7 oz.
CONDITION
There are a few scratches on the metal but otherwise, no damages. The candlesticks sit evenly and do not wobble. Because the metal is soft, many pieces bend a bit, but they can be easily bent back.
A highly decorative pair, these candlesticks combine classical auspicious symbolism with an intricate multi-metal construction that adds exceptional texture and visual depth.
