Candlestick, German Pricket, Brass and Iron, Lobed Base
Form dates to mid 15th century
A rare and beautiful Germanic form - SOLD
The iron pricket and conforming drip pan are riveted to this stick that measures 14.25" in total height. All exterior elements are beautifully finished and nicely filed and incised; underside is not finished and shows casting. We note that the base was drilled and shows a 3/h" piercing; perhaps to secure to tabletop within public room; there is no evidence of electrification. We are not certain that this beauty is period or early revival and have more than priced accordingly.

Unknown Origin
