A fine example of this classic form.

The cast and turned stem screws into the broad base, which serves also as a drip pan.

The circular holes in the candle socket give access to the spent candle, facilitating extraction.

Excellent form and condition.

Dutch, ca. 1680

Height: 8”; Diameter of base: 5 ¾”

Price: $475
