Mary Todd Lincoln's personally-owned compact brass candlesticks, consisting of two 3.5″ circular bases which can be screwed together for portability. The design allows the candlestick bases to nestle into the drip stands when being carried, then unscrewed and set up as candlesticks. In fine condition, with light expected wear. These historic candlesticks came from a group of Mary Todd Lincoln items that descended in the family of a Mrs. Fowler of Chicago, a neighbor and friend of the former first lady; a copy of a partial 20th century inventory is included.
