This pair of sixteenth-century German brass pricket sticks belongs to the sixteenth-century period and is suited to a gentleman's library. Each piece takes the form of a candlestick, rendered in a warm golden brass with a polished metallic finish and distinctive turned details. The design incorporates prominent pricket spikes at the top, knopped stems with multiple decorative swellings, and stepped circular bases that rest flat on a surface. The cast metal shows a bright, reflective sheen across the turned contours, with visible concentric circular profiling on the stepped feet and sharply tapering central spikes. These items stand 40 cm high. They function well as decorative objects on a sideboard top, bringing period character to a traditional interior scheme.

FAQs

Early 16th-century brass candlesticks frequently featured cast pricket spikes or early socket tops supported by baluster or multi-knopped stems, set upon circular or hexagonal bases designed to catch wax.

These candlesticks were typically cast from copper alloys such as latten or brass, after which the knopped stems were turned on a hand lathe to finish the geometric profile.

Authentic early metalwork displays hand-lathe markings, subtle asymmetry from manual casting, uneven wear across the base, and weight concentrated near the bottom rather than modern uniform casting.

A pair of early brass candlesticks functions as a focal accent when placed on a marble sideboard top, a mantelpiece, or integrated into a dining table centrepiece.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes or chemical dipping agents that strip historic surface patination.
