Antique Candlestick, Brass, Likely Venetian,

Outwardly Flaring Banded Nozzle, Ring, Baluster and Urn Turned Shaft

Rare base metal socket candlestick; cast and turned shaft peened under the cast and turned, domed and dished base which was strengthened during working life with solder. The shaft style relates to Nuremberg candlesticks of the period yet the base is atypical; similar to Northwestern European drum bases and Islamic candlestick bases.
