I cant believe it, we were going through some old stuff in the garage and i saw a pair of these and i thought they were the ugliest candle holdres I have ever seen so we just packed them up with other stuff and took them to the local charity shop!
some lucky person is going to love them!
The ones we had were new looking, could they have been an imitation?

Don’t know how, but there seems to b a link to my blog from here. beautiful candlesticks. My favourite are the top ones – and £30 is really peanuts.
