FAQs

A winery beam spike is a portable lighting device featuring a pointed iron rod designed to be driven directly into timber beams or wine casks to illuminate cellars.

These objects were constructed using hand-forged iron spikes, turned hardwood handles such as oak, and brass fittings to hold the candle socket.

Authentic examples display evidence of manual production, including hand-hammered metalwork, uneven brass rivetting, natural wood wear, and hand-turned profiles.

A beam spike can be displayed flat on a mantelpiece, placed within open shelving, or mounted on a wall as a decorative accent alongside architectural salvage.

Clean the object gently using a soft dry microfibre cloth, apply natural wax polish to protect the timber, and retain the aged patina on the metalwork without using abrasive cleaners.
