Three-Armed Candelabra from Huy by G. Falais

Period: ca. 1950-1970 three-armed candelabrum, neo-rococo appearance. The candelabrum rests on tripod feet. A central form with flowers holds two arms with volutes. The three bobeches have tips to hold large cylindrical candles. On the underside of one of the bobeches there are hallmarks that indicate gf, finstain and the city mark of huy. The gf stands for gaston falais; he was one of the founders of the group 'potstainiers hutois' in 1949. The pewter items made in huy were famous for their high quality; they were hand-cast, composed of 94% pewter (lead-free), and in an antique style. Condition: good. Marks of use. Some scratches in the drip plates. One of the drip plates is a little twisted. Dimensions: 32 cm high, 33 cm wide.
