Highly detailed Victorian scrollwork, stylized foliage handles, and ornate pedestal bases adorned with prominent Neo-Renaissance "North Wind" / "Green Man" faces.
Classic period modular assembly featuring a central threaded iron rod and square nut visible underneath the bases.

Excellent antique condition overall, especially considering their age.
Free of chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or repairs. The hand-painted floral graphics remain vibrant and crisp with minimal surface wear.
