Pricket Candlestick, Rare Small Size, Brass Alloy

Candle Stick, Henry the Eighth, Chalice and Paten
English Tudor
16th Century
Extremely Rare and Large



This stick is a variant of a small group of extant sixteenth century English candlesticks...chalice and paten or Tudor candlesticks. The acorn knop on the shaft is unique; the shaft and base conform to the design traditions of the group. It is important to note that the English Tudor sticks do not have pierced sockets as found on the Continental candlesticks of the same period. The pierced holes on this stick are probably hundreds of years old, however, not original to the sockets. The candlestick was cast in three parts: shaft, shallow dish at the base of the shaft, and base. The shaft extends through the dish into the base and is attached to the base by peening; then finished turned. There are only a few of these extremely sophisticated Tudor candlesticks extant. They are of excellent quality; made of superior brass and highly finished.
There are only 25 or 30 larger examples known, all found in England...this fine example is more diminutive than the others which average 10-14-inches. This examples stands at just over 8-inches; base diameter: 5-inches. Excellent original condition, color and patina.

Candlestick, French Pillar
A large and fine elegant interpretation
16th Century



All elements except the base are cast in one; the beautiful molded socket with pronounced flare is pierced and is above the flat bottomed drip tray with a convex molded rim. The lower shaft is swelled and is raised on a generous concave base with pronounced rim and outward tapering foot. The stick remains in fine original condition; lathe-centering pimple and turning lines/tool-marks remain on the underside. There is a miniscule expert repair at the outermost edge of the drip-pan; may actually be in the making. H: 9.75"; diameter of base: 5.5".
