About the Item
Antique Pair of 18th Century Flemish Brass Pricket Candle Holders – Heavy & Turned
A distinguished pair of 18th-century Flemish brass pricket candle holders, richly turned and cast with exceptional weight and form. Each candlestick features a tall central pricket (spike) for securing large taper or wax candles, set atop a wide, stepped circular base — a classic design rooted in the Baroque period of the Southern Netherlands.
These were likely intended for ecclesiastical or formal domestic use, reflecting both the religious traditions and material richness of the Flemish region during the 1700s. The precise turning and balanced proportions demonstrate the high standard of Flemish brass craftsmanship, which was renowned throughout Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The candle holders retain their original form with a beautiful mellow patina, offering an elegant and authentic presence for collectors, designers, or period-inspired interiors.
