Rare C18th Rolled Brass and Copper Chamberstick

This beautiful late 17th, early 18th century rolled brass candleholder, has a lovely aged - yet shiny patina and relaxed bohemian charm. It is also a rare piece, wonderful for any lover of antiques or metalwares, with an attractive oval 'frying pan' shape and long handle attached by copper rolled rivets as is the round deep candle sconce. Likely Dutch/ English it would be perfect used on a side table or mantlepiece, it features a well balanced design decorative carry handle, a useful punched hole for hanging, along with a deep bowl for catching wax drips and spent matches. 8cm H at tallest point of handle x 16cm W x 26cm D including handle.25mm diameter socket (fitting a candle up to this size) c1700-1800 - In excellent condition for its age, with some small areas of tarnish and light surface scratches, in line with years and use. Slightly irregular shaped pan. It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their ageand history are naturally to be expected....more
