What does this mean?

Dear Diane,

Hoe have indeed Korean brass candle sticks with the well known butterfly. Made around 1910 I think so early 20th century. Good you have the pair. Decoration is quite simple but typical Korean and etched in the brass surface. Not a large market for this type of item but they are decorative and therefor I believe they can be sold if you want to sell them in auction.

Do you have a similar item and want to know how much it’s worth?

Communicate directly with a qualified specialist and get a fair market valuation of your item, typically in 48 hours or less.
