Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The pair is in very good condition considering age. There is some surface wear and discolouration to the parcel gilt, as one would expect with age and use. There is a singular loss of a stylised plantain leaf, the same urn has a small dent to the outer rim of the candle holder. One foot is slightly loose and has some horizontal movement, although this does not impede the item structurally or visually - the screw that connects this to the base has been altered.
