These seventeenth-century Flemish Baroque candlesticks hail from the Southern Netherlands around 1680 and are formed from cast brass in a bright golden tone. Each piece exhibits a distinctive pricket spike rising from a shallow circular drip pan, above a slender spiral-turned central shaft and a heavily decorated knop. The bases rest securely on tripartite tripod claw feet ornamented with detailed cast motifs. Wear is consistent with age and practical handling, presenting an authentic historical appearance without structural intervention or repairs across either example. Measuring 40 cm high, the pair provides a commanding presence suitable for display within a gentleman's library or similar traditional interior setting. Placed upon a sideboard top or mantle, these candlesticks introduce period character and warm metallic reflection to the space. The sturdy construction ensures both items remain functional decorative accessories for modern display.

FAQs

A Flemish brass pricket candlestick is a cast metal lighting fixture from the Southern Netherlands, characterized by a central vertical metal spike designed to pierce and hold thick wax candles.

These candlesticks were produced using molten brass cast in sand or lost-wax moulds, with individual components hand-turned on a lathe and assembled via threaded rods or brazed joints.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy weight, hand-finished turnings, subtle asymmetries in casting, historic surface wear, and secure spiked wax catchers integrated above wide drip pans.

Position them symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece alongside textured wood or contemporary artwork to create visual balance between historic metalwork and modern surfaces.

Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth, avoid chemical polishes that strip natural historic patination, and remove wax residue by gently warming the brass to melt the wax free without scraping.
