    I see several of these brass candelabras that are listed as Antique French, but there are many differences from mine:
    1. The opaline flowers are much less clear
    2. The bases are more ornate
    3. They have far more flowers both brass and opaline.
    So maybe the one I found is just a modern copy. It only cost $12, so I thought I would get it and ask here. It is pretty beat up and has a lot of Brasso left on it. It is 15 inches tall and 12 inches wide. I couldn't find any marks

    Anyone care to comment?

    That’s my thought. I think they are squashed and out of place.

    My gut feel is a bit later because the brass looks relatively thin. 30s or 50s.

    Perfect. Thank you. I was hoping the origin was correct. That sounds right about the age. It has a more modern look.
