Description from the seller

This varied lot of three antique brass candlesticks dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, each with a unique form and style that are characteristic of their respective period. The candlesticks have a beautiful natural patina and show signs of use, appropriate to their age.

Yellow brass collar- or disc-candlestick (approx. 1700, Low Countries)
Cast in four parts and turned: a round profiled foot, a baluster-shaped stem, a grease catcher and a slightly conical candle holder with two circular holes. Good condition, with a nice patina.
Dimensions: height 21 cm, diameter of collar and base 10 cm, 1.1 kg

Elegant brass candlestick (early 18th century)
Clean, neoclassical design with an octagonal foot. The unfinished underside and finish point to craftsmanship. Tells its history through subtle signs of use.
Dimensions: height 16 cm, diameter foot 10 cm, 0.65 kg

Brass prick candlestick (late 17th – early 18th century)
Stately Baroque style with a baluster-shaped stem and a wide base. The spike securely holds candles, often used in churches or processions. Repairs to the grease catcher and stem, but this does not detract from the charm.
Dimensions: height 28 cm, diameter base 12 cm, about 1 kg

Please look carefully at the photos, they are part of the description.

Carefully packed, shipped with track & trace.
