AUCTION FIND OF THE WEEK APRIL 1ST: STERLING CANDLESTICKS
by Kelly Keating on 04/05/13
This week's auction find is a pair of sterling candlesticks by Graff, Washbourne & Dunn and retailed by J.E. Caldwell, probably early 20th century in date. The pair of sticks are a profusion of swirls and curls in the Rococo style. They are up for auction on April 6th at Skinner in Boston, lot 181, with a pre-sale estimate of $500-700.
This pair of sticks is a great height at 9.75". A grouping of 3 pairs on a dining room table with different heights and different styles would look wonderful. And perhaps a large tureen in the center? Or an interestingly shaped piece of art glass? So, start your tablescape today with these sterling Rococo style sticks and add other pieces to finish off a gorgeous dining room table or use them as the starting point of a great mantelscape!
