2 Ripley & Co Blue Roman I Crucifix Cross Candle Stick Holders Duncan Miller

Description

This Pair of Blue Roman I Crucifix Candle Stick Holders are marked Ripley & Co on one side of the base and Pat Pending on the other side. Ripley & Co were the original producers of these candle stick holders in the late 1800s and they were later produced by Duncan Miller as far back as the 1870s. They were made in crystal, opal, and blue with opal and blue being hard to find, especially as a pair. This pair is in good used condition, but they both have a small chip on the base of their foot. One of the chips is right on the edge of the base and the other is underneath the base and just barely coming over the bottom edge of the base. I show both of these chips in my last four photos. Because of the chips small size and their location they do not detract from the look of these candle stick holders at all. These candle stick holders are just a little over 10 1/2" tall and the bases are 5 1/2" in diameter. After I purchased this pair I was told that these came from a church where they were used for many years and that they were blessed by a priest, which may or may not be true. My photos show the actual candle stick holders that you will receive. For some reason my camera makes them look like they are standing at an angle when they actually stand straight up and down like they are supposed to.
