A matched Pair of Indian Brass and Enamel Candlesticks, early 20th century

A matched pair of Indian Brass and Enamel Candlesticks in the form of Cobras, each upraised from twisting tails and with protruding tongues, both supporting candle sconces and drip pans, the decoration in gilt and red enamel with stylised floral designs and slight variations in the patterns between each piece. The bases hollow cast and the foliate edge sconces and drip pans with piercing.

These snake form candlesticks were a popular form with the Indian manufacturers of decorative metal items for export in during the 1920s and 1930s. The design is striking and their appeal is obvious. The form was also produced as plain brass but the combination here of gilt metal and red enamel is far more attractive.

Size: Height 16.5 and 17.5 cm
Weight: 740 grams for both
Date: 1920
Condition: Good vintage condition. Some traces of dried polish
Estimate: £20 – 30
