• Condition:
Both the candelabra bases and sockets are free of chips, cracks and fleabites, except the ground bottoms of the sockets which are as produced. There are no notable marks from use or storage. The bottoms have a polished pontil and slight shelf wear. The glass is wonderfully clear and free of cloudiness with a light glow under UV light. The ferrules are in excellent condition with nice patina and clean threads, though there are signs of use as expected. When assembled the sockets have a slight wobble, which is common but worth noting. The wobble is traditionally fixed with a drop or two of candlewax.

Detailed Description:
Peerless was originally introduced in 1899 featuring polished colonial design. It was rebranded by Heisey in the 1930's as Old Williamsburg which is the name most collectors recognize. Several sizes and parts were made for Old Williamsburg candelabras which could be transformed into candlesticks like these. All the pieces in this listing have a light green glow under UV light indicating they date prior to 1916. The bases are both marked with Heisey's "H" in a diamond trademark, though it's faint on one. The sockets are not marked that I can find, which is common. It's a beautiful set and will be a welcome addition to an Old Williamsburg collection, to complete a Candelabra or on their own.
