FAQs

Pricket sticks are candlesticks featuring a central metal spike, known as a pricket, which secures a candle rather than fitting into a socket. Historically used in churches and chapels for large wax tapers, their origins date back to medieval ecclesiastical metalwork.

These items are typically cast in bronze or brass using traditional foundry methods such as sand casting or lost-wax techniques. Sections were often cast individually and turned on a lathe before being joined together to form the distinct multi-tiered stem and base.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural oxidisation, heavy weight, and minor casting imperfections consistent with period manufacturing tools. Wear patterns around the base and spike indicate genuine age, alongside tool marks from manual lathe turning.

They add vertical height and historical gravity when placed on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or large dining table. Pairing them with simple, neutral-toned pillar candles creates a balanced contrast between ancient metalwork and contemporary minimalism.

Preserve the historical patina by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth rather than using harsh chemical polishes. Avoid abrasive cleaners that strip the natural oxidisation and compromise the integrity of the antique metal surface.
