Sorrento Brighton Buns
Sorrento Brighton Buns
Made of inlaid walnut, this pair of Sorrento Ware Travel Candlesticks, or Brighton Buns are a good size.
The diameter of the dishes is 5 inches (13 cm) and they each have a threaded hole to take an acorn shaped screw in handle. These handles can also be used separately as a candle snuffer. The screw on scones are also bold in their shape. Whilst one is a good fit, the thread to the dish of the other has shrunk and although it will fit, it cannot be tightened to either the sconce or other dish. The underside of one dish is decorated with inlaid foliage with the other plain.
We have had another pair of Sorrento Travel Candlesticks in the past but they differed in that they had brass candle sconces. Late 19th Century.
Size of each is given.
