A short, cast candle socket with two rectangular ejector holes atop the classic turned capstan base with drip pan. The wide diameter and weight make this a very stable candle holder. The edges of the drip pan and of the base itself have been abraded by a former owner, but these small dings are offset by the exceptional size.

Dutch: ca. 1680

Diameter of base: 5 ⅜; Height: 5”

Price: $495
