Pair of Antique English Georgian "Harrison Patent" Telescopic Brass Candlesticks

An attractive Pair of Early 19th Century Antique English Georgian Telescopic Brass Candlesticks of documentary interest, the one being stamped HARRISON PATENT. William Harrison and Son, Brassfounders, are listed in The New Triennial Directory for Birmingham of 1818 as being in business in Park Street of that city. Very few antique candlesticks bear a Maker's Mark, the late Ronald Michaelis, in his authoritative work, " Old Domestic Base Metal Candlesticks", suggesting perhaps only one in a thousand. This lovely old pair, each of which retains it's internal push-ejector rod and button, simply ooze period charm, glowing with that deep patina only to be achieved by decades of hand polishing and thus remain perfectly practical for everyday use.
