About the Item

Swedish Baroque Brass Office Candlestick, Early 18th Century Elegant and functional early 18th-century Swedish office candlestick in brass, crafted in the Baroque period. This rare piece features an adjustable screw mechanism, originally used to raise the candle as the expensive 1700s-era stearin burned down — a clever solution to maximize light and economy. The octagonal base adds character and visual interest, while the original owner’s engraved initials on the underside provide a tangible link to its early provenance. Beautiful, naturally aged patina enhances its historic charm and authenticity. A remarkable 300-year-old collector’s item and a beautiful decorative accent. Wear consistent with age and use.
