Matched Pair of Early 19th Century Rushlights

A great looking pair of rushlights probably Welsh in origin. The stems and arms are in a twisted design with the traditional long rush cradles at each end. There is a little degradation to the cradles as expected with these items and add to the overall character of the pieces. Each stem is sat in a turned wooden beehive base. Both lights have a wonderful patina to them and are collectors items or decorative pieces in their own right. Sizes are approximate as there is a little variation to each Rushlight. - 19th Century - Beehive Bases - Lovely Patina Full of Character - Welsh Origin - Highly Collectable and Practical/Decorative The pieces are in good condition with only age related signs of wear.
