About the Item

Swedish adjustable Floor Candlestick holder, also called 'Lyskärring'. Circa 1780-1830. The patina is really dark and has an almost mahogany feel to it. This was originally not intended for candles; it was for birch sticks to be burnt and wedged between the metal pegs. Candles were really expensive, so this was really a poor man’s alternative.
