    These candlesticks are very nice. They're heavy and well made. They have no marks at all that I can see. 11 1/4" high.

    Is there any way to identify the maker, or the period of manufacture?

    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Early designs were often copied and dating candlesticks is not easy.

    A rough underside indicates a later candlestick (Victorian or early 20th century)

    A visible vertical seam can indicate an early date.

    Based on the photos I'd say these were later candlesticks. As so many were made before electric lights became commonplace they usually have very little value

    Without marks, identifying a maker is near impossible.

    Hi,
    They look like a pair of India sticks that I have that were made in the 70s.
