Description: Here is a pair of what we believe are the largest of the silver candlesticks designed by Richard Meier for Swid Powell.  This is an elegant design that would grace any modern home.  These are substantial objects and quite heavy. Because we could not find any illustrations of these in the various Swid Powell catalogs or literature we believe this design was likely only produced for a couple of seasons and probably one of the last Meier designs produced by Cleto Munari for Swid Powell.  This, like other Meier candlestick designs are easily disassembled for easier polishing.  Fully hallmarked with the correct Swid Powell and Meier hallmarks.
