Hi there,

Recently got these candlesticks but the original paint is beat, what would be the best finish for these? Is it fully matte?

agreed
I think there were a few manufacturers of holders LIKE this. Most are marked DENMARK.

why thank you moreiziba.
Tonights pants have previously polluted the forum, I think, and also are on loan from someone from this forum...I can't recall who. Perhaps SDR? I like pants.
Best,
Mark

I have several with that label. If you look closely at it, it appears it could also be TiW, or, TWi.
Tapio Wirkala was Finnish, and I have never seen anything that would confirm this label is actually his initials, or that the candlesticks are of his design.
