Candlestick
The short-lived Arts & Crafts firm called Carence Crafters was incorporated in Chicago on March 7, 1908 by three investors: R. D. Camp, Carl D. Greene, and John H. Dunham. Their output was largely copper and brass jewelry, as well as such domestic items as candleholders, trays, desk sets, boxes, and picture frames. Much of their production is easily recognizable by the acid-etched floral or geometric designs, as seen on these two candleholders. Carence Crafters jewelry and metalwork was distributed to a nationwide network of retail shops and department stores.
