Description: A scarcely found pair of outstanding Meier candlesticks for Swid Powell towards the end of the firm's existence. These amazing candlesticks are so well engineered that they can be completely disassembled into each part to facilitate polishing and care. They are very heavy and well made. Although not as well known as Meier's King Richard candlesticks, these have an architectual beauty and grace that is at the pinnacle of Swid Powell's output. The original design drawing for these candlesticks can be found on Meier’s website.
