    Description

    Stylisticly, this is one of THE GRANDEST  and most  elaborate figural  large candelabras being offered on Ebay! Spectacular   seven candle candelabra with very detailed  rococo acanthus leaf branches, baroque female helmeted goddesses and wild  wide mouthed baroque lion faces scatter throughout it's design!  It is very heavy, (14 lbs.)  with a feel/density of bronze, but   it is  "German silver"..aka Alpaca Silver... a  non silver alloy of copper and white metals.  It takes a very high shiny polish and buffs up/responds well with a silver cloth.  There do not appear to be any blemishes to it's finish.   These factors combined with its large presence at 22" tall, 16" wide and 7" deep create the grandest visual impact!  At one time, it was in the important old San Francisco family, the Sutros... who established much of the development of San Francisco's intra structure,  including Adolph Sutro as mayor, the Sutro Baths and the Hetch Hetchy water system.
    Liberace would have been THRILLED to have this one on his piano!!!  So will you!
