A pair of Italian Baroque style silver gilt pricket sticks
About the Item
A wonderful pair of hand carved and gilded torcheres with handwrought iron
candle arms and bobeches. The candelabra portion lifts out of the wood base.
The base once was gilded in white gold,
the ochre colored boule peaks thru the
traces of white gold. Oxidation to metal elements.
A wonderful distressed finish.
The history of Pricket Candle Sticks dates back to the 1300
in Europe and longer in Asia.
A pricket is a sharp metal point on which to stick a candle.
Until the advent of gas lights and later electricity, all rooms
and all tasks were lit with candles, after dark.
This required candles to be placed securely onto an object or
holder. Therefore many decorative candle holders evolved over
time. The Italians were masters in design of many such pricket
sticks, especially used in churches etc.
