    Description

    This is a beautiful piece I bought at auction while visiting my son in Maryland. It was a perfect fit for my Victorian home in NJ.
    I'm selling the pieces together, although they likely became a pair at a much later data.
    The candlestick is Dresden. It appears to be formed in 3 pieces and held together with a metal shaft as well as some type of “glue.” Is is decorated with applied flowers, hand painting and gilding. The candlestick measures 11.5” tall without the globe and burner fixture. It is marked with an X as well as a capital “T" which is the mark for TX Thieme of Dresden.  This mark was used in 1901.
    The pink glass ball connects to a J.E. Caldwell burner. It is a perfect insert into the candlestick. J.E. Caldwell was prominent from 1850. This piece probably dates from 1860-1890 or so. Caldwell was a famous silversmith. I've applied silver polish to the burner and it did clean up, but not in the usual way of silver. The metal is mostly likely not silver. The JE Caldwell Phila mark is on the wick dial. The overall size of the pink ball and burner is 6” with a diameter of 4”. The burner alone is 2.25”.
    Condition
    :
    The burner appears fully operational. It has a substantial wick, and the wick dial works well.  Please note that I have never used the candle and cannot guarantee operation.
    The pink globe has no cracks but has one small mark.
    The candlestick has crazing on the stem, some dark blue marks and a small number of chips to the flowers.
    Please review the pictures closely as they are part of the description.
    Please do ask for extra photos.  I've included the maximum allowed for a listing but happy to supply more.
    I apologize ahead of time for the cost of shipping. I only ship USPS Priority insured.
