with original bronze snuffer inset on reverse of base standard

Overall very good condition. The bronze surfaces present with a rich russet brown patina. With some minor traces of wax residue and oxidation throughout. The bronze surfaces with some minor irregularities in the casting, not visually detractive. The central base standard is very slightly misaligned. The blown favrile glass candle cups display a subtle color variation, visible in the catalogue illustration; some are more Kelly green, while others are slightly more emerald green, indicating that they are possibly an assembled set. The favrile glass surfaces with some minor light surface scratches and surface soiling in the contours adjacent to the reticulated bronze structure. The favrile glass with expected minute flecks and chips around the top edges, only visible when the bobeches are removed. Two glass liners with slightly larger edge chips, one that can been seen slightly through the reticulated bronze below. Some of the bobeches fit very snuggly within the cups. The bobeches all appear to be original. Each bobeche previously with prongs (meant to support a glass shade) which have been reduced and discretely filed down. With original bronze snuffer inset into the base standard. A highly sculptural and dynamic candelabrum form.
