Additional Information: These Gothic candlesticks (assembled) from the late fifteenth
or early sixteenth century are of two-part construction and display the typical Gothic
socket with square aperture and the typical flat knop below, but now feature new
elements to the shaft. Below the knop is a long ringed baluster, another flat knop, and a
short baluster before the shaft terminates in a rudimentary ring and is joined to what
Michaelis calls a "hollow incurved conical base". (See Ronald Michaelis: Old Domestic
Base Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors Club, 1978 page 49-61; Chapter 5,
Candlesticks with Hollow Incurved Conical Bases – Group Two). Whether these
candlesticks temporally followed the more typical Gothic knopped candlesticks with high
skirt base, or whether they were a contemporary design variant is not known. This pair
of candlesticks is nearly identical with slight turning differences on the high skirt base
and, while the lowest shaft element on one has shallow ringing, the other is plain
(though it is possible that the ringing has been polished-out removed). For a related
example see figure 27 Christopher Bangs; The Lear Collection A Study of Copper Alloy
Socket Candlesticks A.D. 200 -1700.
Measurement: Height: 5.5"; height at pricket: 7.75"; base diameter: 3"
Material: Copper alloy, iron pricket
Condition: Excellent original condition
Additional Information: Small pricket candlestick with an iron pricket, otherwise brass;
crenelated upper aspect of the drip pan, which is pierced with a series of three small,
clustered apertures. This above a short shaft with a flattened disc that transitions into a
complex high base that steps out as it descends. The base features a large, flattened
disc above a vertical segment with clusters of three small, round piercings, as seen on
the lower aspect of the drip pan…then flares to a solid foot. See Koper und Brons,
(Rijksmuseum Collection), pp. 89 – 90, figures 115 to117 for related yet less successful
examples.
Condition: Very good, flat spot [.75-inch] to rim of base as depicted
Additional Information: Heemskerk candlestick, probably Dutch manufacture, c. 1520-
1600. The typical Gothic socket now having a circular aperture, (transition from the
square aperture in the early sixteenth century). The Gothic flat knop has been replaced
with a rudimentary ring over a baluster. There is the typical deep mid drip pan above the
tinged trumpet shaped base, unchanged from the earlier first Heemskerk form. Two-part
construction.
Condition: In very good condition with one, small very old linear repair on the edge of
the base.
Additional Information: Franco-Flemish candlestick with typical Gothic socket with
rectangular aperture. The shaft having two long ringed balusters centered by three
discoid knops continues to the low skirt ringed base. See Christopher Bangs; The Lear
Collection A Study of Copper Alloy Socket Candlesticks A.D. 200 -1700, pages 74 to
78; figures 33 to 39 for related candlesticks.
Additional Information: Small seventeenth century Heemskerk candlestick of great
form. Heavy socket with slight upward flare, pierced with a small circular aperture over a
shaft with rudimentary ring above and below a suppressed ball, mid drip pan,
over the lower shaft which echoes the upper shaft yet displaying larger and bolder
elements. This on a domed base with flared lower collar. All original, with
probably recent soft solder applied to underside of base as often done to tighten shaft.
This candlestick is of superior design and relatively small size for the late Heemskerk
form. See Koper und Brons, (Rijksmuseum Collection) page 108 for two related but less
successful examples.
The long flaring socket having rounded molding at rim is pierced with square extracting aperture above shaft with five interspaced ring turned discoid knops above base featuring a stepped cone within waisted, integral drip base-tray above a flaring skirt. (Dimensions: H: 10.75")
Condition: Good; old repair to one bobeche; tight fissure to one base at dome
Additional Information: A tall and slender, elegant pair of candlesticks featuring lobed
bobeches over knop; tapered columnar shaft on domed base…spreading circular foot
with scalloped edge [petal]. These sticks display very well.
Removeable lidded cylindrical font with wick support within domed bottom liner hung
from trunnion mount; ribbed, scrolled and tapering finger pieces on flaring standard
continuing to conical riser within slightly domed rimmed saucer drip pan. These appear
to have been made by the same hand, one lamp is a little larger [and weighted] than the
other. The lamps stand at 8.25" & 8".
This example with tapered jaws standing at 10.5-inches featuring a swelled post on block having canted corners is raised on a well-arched tripod base resting on pad feet. There is an unusual copper disc between post and base…peening has never been disturbed. Nice old color and surface looks to have lived in a damp environment.
Large single candlestick with mottled yellow, brown, and burnt amber coloring. Extremely minor wear on base from age, otherwise no restoration on edges. Form indicates origin. (H: 10"; diameter: 5")
