Technical Description
An exceptional matching pair of Salviati red glass candlesticks dating to around 1900. The scones and feet are rib moulded, the feet being slightly wrythen. Snapped pontil.
The quality of the workmanship and form would all indicate early Salviato Co.
We have had a pair of green example some years ago, but this is the first red examples. There are a number of very fine Salviati candlesticks on the market, however, you will seriously struggle to find a pair of Bed Chamber examples.
