These candle sleeves are from a church. We were lucky enough to purchase an extensive collection of original church pieces. \u003cspan\u003e These were probably used on an altar display.  The sleeve would fit over the candle for decoration. I did not clean or polish these. I prefer the current patina. They are 5.25\" long and 1.2\" in diameter. You are getting the pair of sleeves. They came to me as a set, although one is slightly larger than the other.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrmolu is the gilding technique of applying finely ground, high-carat gold–mercury amalgam to an object of bronze, and objects finished in this way.
