Matched pair of early period American "hog scraper" push-up candlesticks with brass "wedding band" rings. Each measures 13 inches tall. Good working order. The hog scraper candlestick, commonly used in 19th-century North America and Britain, gets its name from its resemblance to an antique device used to scrape bristles from a hog after slaughter. The hook attached to the bobeche was for hanging on the back of ladderback chairs.
