CA0361 Elegant pair of English candlesticks by Elkington & Co.

Very elegant pair of classic English mid 19th century Neo-Pompeian style gilt bronze candlesticks stamped 'E & Co' with a crown above in a shield for Elkington & Company. Both candlesticks are also stamped with a script 'c' and a number '5'. The underside of each candlestick is numbered '1228'. Inspired by roman originals, after the antique they are well cast and chased. Probably from a large country estate they were originally gilded but have faded and worn to create a beautiful patina that is impossible to replicate. Superb condition. Circa 1850.
