Pair of Gothic Revival Iron Taper Holders, France, 1900's

A pair of iron taper holders in a Gothic Revival style, each candle cup ringed with a small castellated crown and set on a turned, beaded stem. A conical snuffer bell hangs from a fine chain at each candle cup, ready to extinguish the flame with a practical, old-world flourish. The scrolled tripod feet complete the medieval-inspired silhouette.
