Pair of candlesticks crafted from wood removed from the White House during its 1927 renovation, measuring 7.5″ tall with base diameters of 4″, one retaining its National Lumber Manufacturers Association label on its base (re-applied with tape to two edges), reading: "Made From Timber Removed from the White House after 112 Years of Service. For 112 Years During the Residence of 26 Presidents of the United States the Wood from which this Candlestick was made (Longleaf Pine) Supported the Roof of the Executive Mansion. It was Originally Built into the Mansion During the Residence of President James Madison in 1815. It was Removed at the Time of Remodeling the White House in 1927, and was Found to be in Perfect Condition." The other candlestick lacks its label, but is clearly of the same material and craftsmanship of the first. In overall very good to fine condition.
