BACCARAT CRYSTAL CANDLEHOLDERS
« on: August 12, 2011, 11:27:20 am »
Pair of baccarat crystal candleholders. 16 1/2 in tall and 6 in wide. At least 100-150 years old. 1 is in very good shape and the other has one prism that has been glued together and some chipping on crystals.

Thank you so much, I will try to figure out what is wrong. It showed up on mine so I figured it went through.

I reduced size. Can you let me know if you were able to get the pic. I also posted another question regarding basilica candelabras. Thank you so much.

Yes, they downloaded fine now !! They are certainly unique candleholders !! Sort of waterfall type !! Do they have the Baccarat mark ?? Or how do you know that they are Baccarat ??

Darn, I remember running across a couple of sites dedicated to this type of holder........if only my two brain cells would fire at the same time I might remember the actual name for them.

I can't find these anywhere. I know they are really old and no marking on baccarat crystal until around 1860. These are older than that. Very very heavy pieces.

Not that it's mentioned and likely they would if they were aware of it.

It's the same one I included the links to, the two tiered that went for $4,370

Thats what I thought too !! Was in hopes a similar one could be attributed to Baccarat from another source !!  Would be more apt to say that the ones in question here may be Baccarat !!  Still,, even if one cannot say with all probabability that they are the maker,, money should be pretty good even with a bit of  damage !!
