A pair of American sterling silver dwarf candlesticks by Towle Silversmiths. The items feature a minimalist design consisting of a broad, stepped circular base that tapers into a slender column topped with a flared candle cup. The underside of the base bears a circular stamped mark containing the name TOWLE at the top, the words STERLING 925 above a central crest depicting a stylized animal, and the words WEIGHTED & REINFORCED along the bottom edge. This construction indicates a sterling silver exterior over a non-precious core material used for stability. One candlestick has a small white rectangular adhesive paper label attached to the neck.
