One of the candlesticks is in very good condition. It has some surface scratches to the whole, and several areas of tarnish to the decoration. There are some small build-ups of polish in the decoration, and some wax to the top and inside of the sconce. The silver is rubbed in places and there are a number of surface dents and dints. The candlestick stands slightly unsteadily as the base is dented. The hallmark on the edge of the base is badly rubbed but the hallamark on the underside of the base is still clearly legible.
