This set of Sterling candle holders were purchased from an antique shop in Aberdeen, Scotland in approximately 1975. This beautiful set could grace any table or sideboard. They stand 25.5cm tall (10") and are 27.5cm (10.5") at their widest and the base diameter is 10cm (4").
I inherited these at my mother's passing 30 years ago and they have remained in the hutch since except for polishing.
