About the Item

Pair of Altar Pricket Candlesticks Cast and turned brass Europe, ca. 1600 Height: approx. 28.5 cm A fine pair of brass altar pricket candlesticks, each with a baluster-shaped shaft and broad drip pan, raised on a moulded circular base supported by three knopped feet. The upper pricket spike was used to secure the candle. The undersides retain traces of turning and oxidation typical of early brass craftsmanship. Such candlesticks were commonly used on church altars or in domestic chapels. Their solid yet elegant form reflects the transition from the Renaissance to the early Baroque, combining functional design with devotional refinement. Overall in good condition, feet probably later additions.
