The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Patented in the early nineteenth century by Charles Day, these mechanical items featured adjustable telescopic poles designed to support small fabric or papier-mache screens to shield a sitters eyes from direct candle glare.

These items were predominantly constructed using cast brass, turned bronze, painted iron, and gilded metalwork, often paired with weighted bases for stability during adjustment.

Authentic examples frequently feature stamped maker marks reading Days Patent along the brass mechanisms, accompanied by weighted cast bases and internal spring-tension extension rods.

Positioned on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or desk, these stands serve as decorative sculptural accents alongside books, framed artwork, or traditional table lamps.

Dust metal surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that may strip original lacquer, gilding, or historic paint finishes.
