This pair of Spratling Seven-Light Tin Candelabras was created c. 1935 -1945 and is in overall very good condition considering their age and utilitarian purpose and the more fragile nature of the tin with which they are made. Both of the Candelabras are signed "Taxco/WS/Mexico". William Spratling (1900 - 1967) is known for reviving the silver trade in the town of Taxco, Mexico which was one of the centers of Spanish silver mining during the Colonial Era. Spratling was also instrumental in influencing the design and creation of tin articles inspired by the designs of higher quality silver pieces, Spanish Colonial art and Pre-Columbian art. Spratling's tin pieces are quite rare and are highly desirable collectibles.
