OUTSTANDING and RARE
From a small extant group...an expressive large
A Fine Mid-Drip Trumpet Candlestick
England
Circa 1650
A robust statement-generous proportion, exquisite form, balance and fluidity...the Commonwealth Period
This enormous candlestick being ten-inches in height on a nearly eight-inch base has a wide socket-rim that is angled downward above the slightly flaring upper shaft gently tapering to the pronounced molding...the molding, a ridged-knop; is pleasing to the eye and practical for carrying. The shaft beneath the molding again flaring before spreading into the generous drip-tray. The brass tang remains without compromise. Underneath the slightly upswept drip-tray, the lower shaft gradually and gently sloping to the flaring base on short step. The stick remains in generally excellent condition having only the expected minor evidence of time...the usual dings, nicks and a few short tight fissures within the drip-tray. As depicted, there is a very small bite on the tray edge...all else fine. The underside shows very good color, patina and tool marks.
