A rare Welsh adjustable double candle holder .The original circular sycamore base.supporting a short turned elm pillar,,primitive iron stem with spring adjustable action ,two candle holders and finished off with a knop finial.Denbighshire Circa 1820.
This is a rare candle holder which came from Mold in Denbighshire,there is one a little similar on page 281 of of Robert Ashley’s “The Rush light and Related Holders”.
The base is all original but has some worm as sycamore is a soft wood,it would take polish well if needed.The iron collar on the turned stem is also original and used to stop the stem splitting.The metalwork although a little crude is good and there is a small ring that was added later to stop the candle holder going too far down.
We are open weekly as follows:
