A petite candlestick with an eight-sided base with integral drip pan. Brilliant in color, this is a fine example of the Iberian form. The detailed spool-type socket has a single, round ejector hole. The underside of the base is nicely patinated, and the exterior sparkles. Excellent condition and lovely form.

Spanish, ca. 1690

Base: 4 ¾” point to point; Height: 5 ¼”

Price: $265
