A Mounted 17th Century Cut Brass Bassinoire Cover from France

About the Item

This highly pierced brass decorative element from France was originally the cover of a bassinoire from the 1600s. A bassinoire is a device where hot coals are inserted into a vented receptacle which is passed under sheets, warming a bed before use. These metal vessels would have been affixed to a long pole, allowing a person to use them without fear of burning themselves on the coals. Our cut brass bassinoire cover is comprised of a rinceau of flowers surrounding a larger rosette. The center flower is surrounded by a banded vine arranged in a circle. Repeating X’s adorn the slightly rolled outer rim, with a recessed ring of repeating beaded niches immediately inside. The bassinoire lid has been mounted onto a black stand that swivels, allowing it be displayed as a decorative accessory in just about any room of the house.

Pair of French 17th Century Angel Candle Holders in Carved Elmwood

Located in Dallas, TX

Standing at over two feet tall, this 17th century pair of angel candlesticks has been carved out of a beautiful French elm wood. Because elm wood typically has an interlocked grain, it can be quite difficult to carve or split. These candlesticks were produced by a master craftsman in France during the 1600s. Our angels have long, wavy hair that extends past their shoulders. They are wearing long flowing gowns with scalloped collars and half sleeves. The loosely draped robe reaches their ankles, exposing bare feet that stand upon a round base. One leg is also visible from behind the material due to a slit at mid-thigh. Each angel is holding a turned candle holder that has a large wrought iron pricket with a lobed bobeche. In France, this type of candle holder is known as an Ange Céroféraire. A ceroferary is the acolyte...
