WW1 Citron Foug Candlesticks

I recently treated myself to these candlesticks, made from WW1 French Citron foug grenades. I wouldn't normally buy French grenades, but I liked the look of these and they are well made.

Some of the best I've seen. The collar looks interesting as well.

Thanks John, they are nicely done. The stem/feet look a bit like door knobs or drawer pulls, and the knurled top collars remind me of telescope or binocular eyepieces ! the lower parts are threaded and unscrew, but the top parts seem fixed and I don't want to break them.

Hi Tony

I think what sets these apart are the tops. Best I've seen on Citron Foug candlesticks.
