Scarce Set of 3 Tall C19th Graduated Height Decorated and Painted Brass Corinthian Column Masonic Candlesticks.

Scarce set of three tall C19th graduated height decorated and painted brass corinthian column Masonic candlesticks.

Imposing set of three corinthian order candlesticks, the fluted tapering shafts having a corinthian capital supporting a turned candle nozzle with decorative star-shaped drip-pans . Each raised on a graduated stepped block plinth base providing the variations in scale .

Having black painted decorated plinths and tops with gilded highlights , the shafts and capitals with gilded surfaces. Some wear to surfaces and evidence of refreshed and perhaps over-painting. The gilt having an aged and dulled patina. The smallest missing its bobeche to candle nozzle. Each of heavy gauge and weight, the wide plinth bases providing excellent stability.

Interesting set of candlesticks, believed to represent and signify “Wisdom, Strength and Beauty” in the Masonic order .

Wonderful scale and presence, would make a bold set of lamps or used as architectural decoration.
