Called ‘Brighton Buns’ after the British pastry, which they resemble when closed, these candle holders were a standard travel accessory from pre-Revolutionary days up through the Civil War. They screw together into a unique, compact unit that assembles into two attractive brass candle stands. Unusual and highly practical, no traveler, explorer or touring royalty was without them. Hardwood with attractive decorative carving. They are 3-3/4” in diameter, standing 2-1/2” tall when assembled and 1-1/4” closed. Candles not included.
