Beautiful pair of vintage brass twist English candlesticks. The holders have a nice deep cup, so candles with thicker bases would work best. 
Both holders are in wonderful vintage condition.
The barley twist helix was a popular furniture element first used in wood turning that first appeared in England and France in the 1600s. Furniture with spiral-turned legs or trim was known as "barley twist" or "barley sugar," probably because it resembled sticks of barley sugar used at the time. The twisted leg went out of style in the second half of the 18th century, when curved legs came into fashion but by the 1850s some designers again used the twist, becoming a timeless design used commonly in early modernism.
