Description

A superb small brass candlestick from the late 16thc early 17thc....it stands on a wide flared base, and has a mid height drip pan, nicely shaped stem and deep candle socket, which is pierced with a round hole rather than a laterally rectangular hole, this helps you to date this attractive candlestick to the end of the 16thc and beginning of the 17thc....the solid stem is attached to the cast base and drip pan by being made as a tight "drive-fit" into the collar of the base centre and then a pointed punch was used to "peen" the stem and collar over a shaped rise in the base centre....the candlestick is in very good condition.

Low Countries. C1580-C1620.

These items are characterised by heavy cast construction, simple yet balanced proportions, and functional designs intended for domestic or ecclesiastical use during the Renaissance period.

They were typically produced using brass alloy composed of copper and zinc, formed through sand casting or lost-wax casting methods, followed by hand-finishing on a lathe.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural surface oxidisation, casting flaws, tool marks from lathe turning, and wear consistent with age, whereas reproductions often display uniform surfaces and modern manufacturing signatures.

Placing the piece on a mantelpiece, side table, or open shelf introduces historic texture and metallic warmth that contrasts effectively with modern minimalist furnishings.

Preservation involves dusting with a soft dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, which can remove historical patina and damage the metal surface.
