A pair of brass? candlesticks featuring a decorative open double-helix barley twist stem. Each candlestick is constructed with a flared, tapered sconce above the spiral stem, which terminates in a circular, tiered base. The design draws inspiration from late 17th-century Jacobean metalware and was a popular motif during the late 19th and early 20th-century revival periods. The items are likely formed from cast brass and display a natural aged patina across the surfaces. There are visible areas of oxidation and tarnish, particularly concentrated within the deep recesses of the barley twist stems and around the concentric tiers of the bases. The metal shows minor surface wear consistent with age and domestic handling. No manufacturer names, assay marks, or signatures are legible on the pieces.
