Victorian Candleholder & Tray w/ Tottering 'Toos

Antiques : By Period, Style : Victorian

 

A spectacular piece from late 1800's Europe featuring a pair of teeter-tottering Cockatoos flanked by glass candleholders. A tray for placement of treats is below, with a handle above for transportation (you know how 'Toos are -love to be carried...) The piece is made entirely of brass, save for the candle cups, which are brass, and the Cockatoos, which are bronze. It is nicely sized at 7" x 7 1/8" x 10.5" and is in good condition for its 100+ year history, though it shows its age via a crack in one of the candle cups, a bend on the edge of the tray (see pics), some wear to the paint on the Cockatoos (minimal) and the handle is loose. Unmarked but unmistakably a quality piece, and with 'Toos in attendance, a special one as well. You'll love it.
