Striking matching pair of vintage figural candlesticks featuring graceful mermaids with detailed scaled tails, stylized faces and flowing hair. Each mermaid rises from a dimensional scallop-shell base and supports an ornate floral-rimmed candle cup designed for a standard taper candle. The sculptural silver-tone metal has a bright polished finish with contrasting softly aged bases, creating an elegant coastal, nautical, Art Nouveau and Hollywood Regency look. Each measures approximately 10 inches tall. No maker’s mark is visible, so the exact manufacturer and metal composition are unknown; they appear to be cast metal with a silver-tone finish rather than sterling silver. Both are in good vintage condition with expected surface wear, light discoloration, finish variation and candle residue consistent with age and use. Please review photographs closely as they form part of the description. A wonderfully unusual statement pair for a mantel, dining table, seaside home or mermaid collection.
