Description

A fine example of a late 17thc / early 18thc brass chamberstick....sometimes known as a "frying pan" type, which are quite un-English in their features and probably belong to the Low Countries....this fine example has a round handle for hanging up when not in use....the "tulip" shaped candle sconce is a typical Dutch design and is secured to the pan by peening over the large single rivet.....an early feature of this chamberstick are the three rolled brass rivets which secure the shaped handle....the brass is thick and of a good weight....overall in excellent condition with no dents or cracks....a lovely example of these hard to find pieces of early lighting.

A chamberstick is a portable candle holder featuring a pan to catch wax and a handle for carrying, historically used to light the way through dark rooms and corridors before electricity.

Pieces from this era were typically cast in brass using sand-casting or lost-wax techniques, then hand-finished and turned on a lathe, resulting in distinct weight and surface characteristics.

Authenticity is determined by examining casting irregularities, tool marks, patination, wear patterns appropriate to age, and period-specific construction details like riveted handles.

This piece can be styled as a focal point on a mantelpiece or bookshelf, bringing historical texture and metallic warmth to minimalist or eclectic modern rooms.

Antique brass should be cleaned sparingly with a soft cloth to preserve the historic patina; harsh chemical polishes and abrasive materials must be avoided to prevent permanent surface damage.
