FAQs

Preserve wooden and painted surfaces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that could damage historic finishes.

These decorative objects work effectively as focal points on mantelshelves, sideboards, or console tables, adding architectural interest, height, and historic character to contemporary spaces.

Authentic period pieces display age-related characteristics such as hand-tool marks, oxidisation on the metal spike, wear to the painted or gilded surfaces, and natural timber shrinkage consistent with age.

Traditional pricket candlesticks were commonly constructed from carved hardwoods such as oak, pine, or fruitwood, often finished with gesso, gold leaf, or hand-painted faux finishes. They feature sturdy bases for stability, supporting turned shafts and metal pricket spikes.

Pricket candlesticks feature a vertical metal spike, or pricket, designed to support a large candle rather than a socket. Historically utilised in churches, abbeys, and cathedrals from the medieval period onwards, they held heavy beeswax candles used in liturgical ceremonies.
