Love these angels!!!
These gorgeous porcelain winged angel candlesticks are presented here! The design to these candlesticks is simply outstanding with very intricate roses on pillars. One look really says it all! These pieces are unmarked, but bear the craftmanship of high quality.
They each measure 4 3/4 inches high and the bases are 2 1/8 inches square. They have a nice heaviness to them.
The condition of these candlesticks is very good, showing only a few flea bites to the floral areas. Otherwise, they are not chipped or cracked.
