Baldwin Brass Candlesticks
|
Dating back to early time Baldwin's brass was prized as gold for those that couldn't afford such. Today's brass candlesticks and candleholders remain beautiful! Just as yesterdays choices are today's heirlooms, today's choices will be tomorrow's heirlooms. Baldwin also produces a fabulous line of satin nickel candlesticks and candle holders that can only be described as sensuous with their sleek beautiful lines. All are set on a solid brass base providing you the traditional Baldwin quality. And then there is the Venetian Bronze line that has a soft muted bronze finish that is rich and classic. And then there is the antique nickel line that is simply breathtaking to say the least. These definitely make a statement with their styles from the past but from modern times. As with all Baldwin products the base is brass. Baldwin has been producing quality brass products for years now and they have a world wide reputation for quality candlesticks and candle holders. The origin of brass isn't all that clear because it dates back so far in ancient times the term bronze and brass were often interchanged even though they were different metals. The discovery of brass is a bit unclear but what is known is it dates to more than 2000 years ago to the days of the Roman Empire where it was used in cooking vessels and coins. And it is known that metals have been hand forged since prehistoric times when man created crude weapons. Machinery was used to forge by the Middle Ages and the current forging equipment was introduced more than 2 centuries ago and has seen few changes. Baldwin earned its reputation because of the high quality products it produces and the high quality is thanks to good manufacturing processes combined with the best raw material available, and craftsmanship. In fact they are so confident about their brass products they all come with a lifetime guarantee which is hard to find these days! So what do they have to offer in candlesticks? Well let's have a look: 1. Round Base Candlestick Stands about 4 ½" tall with a large circular base and elegantly knob sculpted stick. Add one, a pair, or a dozen of these throughout your house.
