Each candelabra, created in the Greco-Roman Classical style, features a finely cast and modeled standing man atop a ball, characterized by a bare chest and draped loin. Each figure extends both arms, elegantly holding removable candle bobeche, while balancing a single candle bobeche on their heads. These pieces stand on tapering 5-inch diameter waisted pedestals and are signed "H. Liebmann" with an incised signature.
Notably, each candelabra shows evidence of previous electrification near the signature, with a plugged drill hole. They were previously electrified and can be re-electrified if desired. Their remarkable workmanship and historical significance, combined with Liebmann's artistry, make these candelabra a striking addition to any collection or space, inviting admiration for their beauty.
