FAQs

A pricket candlestick is a lighting fixture designed with a central metal spike at the top to hold a pillar candle in place. Common in European ecclesiastical and domestic settings from the medieval period through the eighteenth century, they accommodated large wax candles that lacked internal fitting holes.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut, chestnut, or pine for the turned column and base. The central pricket spike was forged from wrought iron and embedded into the top wax pan.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-turned irregularities rather than machine precision, visible hand-forged iron spikes, historical shrinkage of the wood grain, and age-consistent wear along the circular base.

Position them as a balanced pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or dining table to add vertical height and historical texture to modern, minimal, or traditional rooms.

Regularly dust the turned surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply clear beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the wood finish. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources or damp environments to prevent timber movement and cracking.
