Rare Antique Louis XV Style Chinese Export Near Pair Paktong Metal Candlesticks

These Candlesticks are in Louis XV style with two part construction. The turnings on the base and the shaft are very similar but ever so slightly different, the most noticeable being the bobeche on the one candlestick. The candlesticks appear to be paktong which might mean they were made in China for export. Condition: Heavy surface patina with some wax. Near pair not identical. Repair to the neck of the stick with a bobeche. Height 10 Inches 25.5 cm. Width 5 3/8 Inches 13.7 cm. Depth 5 3/8 Inches 13.7 cm.
