Candelabras will hold 3 candles each. Each one has two cherubs; one of each pair is playing the flute while the other is playing the lyre. 

Decorated effusively with flowers and swirls in shades of pink and lilac, with touches of cold and a lot of gold edging.

The backs have a distinctive mother of pearl finish. Colors are very vibrant. 

I've searched for weeks and I can find absolutely nothing like this, one of a kind piece!

Some wear of the gold edging around the candle holders and one lyre has been broken off at the neck. However, both of these flaws are not readily apparent unless you're looking for flaws. The Ardalt sticker has been partially erased from the bottom, but the alpha-numerical backstamp is present and clear.

Will be packed very carefully for safe shipping.

Ardalt / Lenwile was an American company that imported into America a variety of china-ware made in Japan. Most of these items fall into the "gift" category of goods, including statuettes, figurines, tableware, dishes, bowls, cups, jars, and vases. Many of the pieces are hand-painted in the well-known pseudo-European "export" style popular in 20th century Japan.

Ardalt, Inc. was located at 95 Madison Avenue, New York, New York. Both the incorporation of Ardalt and the registration of the trademark Lenwile occurred in 1945, very soon after the end or World War Two. The roots of the words Ardalt and Lenwile are not known, but they are presumed to be composites of the names of the company's principals. The company also used the monogram AA, which may well stand for Ard-Alt.

Ardalt-Lenwile chinaware was marked with a red and silver foil sticker reading "Hand Painted / Lenwile China / AA / Ardalt / Japan." The foil sticker is often missing from collected pieces, either due to intentional removal or because the items were washed in water.

Ardalt-Lenwile pieces may also be marked with an iron-red numerical backstamp. The numbers may constitute a dating code, but if so, the code has not yet been deciphered. The consensus opinion is that it is instead a catalogue number or SKU number.
