Offered is this elegant pair of ruby stained hurricane candlesticks by Baccarat. These are offered exactly as we found them at an estate in Queens Village, NY. Made around 1900, perhaps a little before, they have never been drilled for electric, and only burned candles, though not recently.

The are ruby stained crystal, with enameled white flowers and gilded accents. Each candlestick holds 12 cut spear crystal prisms around the bobesche.

Overall, they are in very good condition. The hurricane shades have a couple chips on a couple of the points, but no cracks. The candlesticks themselves are chip free, and have a little wear to the ruby stain and gilding, as one might expect from well-over-100-year-old pieces. It appears that some of the plaster wore out and the previous owner had the candle cups re-plastered. When one the shades is inserted, it needs to moved until it sits straight, but these are very old and not unexpected.
