Title: Nuremberg Candlestick, Conical Center Low Broad Base
Date/Period: 16th Century - SOLD


Nuremberg Candlestick, Conical Center Low Broad Base, entire view 1

Measurement: Height: 9"; base diameter: 5.625"

Material: Copper Alloy

Condition: The beautiful, lightly cast brass candlestick has, as is usually seen, some
tight cracking of the vulnerable mid to upper base due to thinness of casting. Fissures
long ago repaired from underside. Displays well.

Additional Information: German, Nuremberg, 16th century candlestick; socket, without
aperture, above a tapered corrugated baluster shaft between discoid knops, on a
shallow circular base. These Nuremberg candlesticks are among the finest brass work
of their time. Nuremberg was a major center of metalwork in the sixteenth century.
The very subtle differences between this candlestick and the one published in Bangs
book [see below] elevate this candlestick to superior design.

Note: A similar candlestick example is published within The Lear Collection: A Study of
Copper-Alloy Socket Candlesticks, A.D. 200-1700 by Christopher Bangs, 1995,
pages 106 and 273, No. 75.

Antique Candlestick, Brass, Likely Venetian, Mid 16th Century, Cast and Turned, Rare Outwardly Flaring Banded Nozzle, Ring, Baluster and Urn Turned Shaft, entire view

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. Venice was the crossroad of the Middle East and the west, amalgamations of design typically evolved. This may be one of those hybrids. (Minor dings, vestiges of time suffered over the centuries, else fine and original; H: 7.25")
