The design of these candlesticks is quite complex, consisting mostly of octagonal cross sections, articulated by four round segments, above the base and framing each of the knops. Inside the stems are pushup mechanisms, frozen for the moment, but present.

French, ca. 1720

Height: 9 ½”; Width of base: 5 ⅛” – 5 ¼”
