PAIR DANISH SOLID SILVER & OAK CANDELABRA 1943 A lovely pair of Danish solid silver and oak candelabra, both fully hallmarked for 1943. They are very stylish looking! RELISTED DUE TO NON-PAYMENT No dents. One arm has a very professional historical resolder, about half inch up from its base join, so good that we missed it first time round! – you seriously don’t notice it without looking for it and most people would miss it. They are missing their baize to undersides but not a huge issue.

Does not have a wax drip tray but still useable as is.
