About the Item
This pair of primitive 18th-century Polish brass candle holders originates from the Jewish shtetls of Eastern Europe, where they were used for Sabbath and holiday observances. Crafted with a practical three-part design, they can be easily dismantled for cleaning, allowing the removal of accumulated wax. Their construction features a sturdy square base with four small feet, elevating the holders slightly above the surface. A rounded pedestal supports the central stem, which is adorned with finely turned details and subtle ridges that enhance grip and aesthetic appeal.
A distinctive feature of these candle holders is the perforated drip plate with scalloped edges, encircling the stem. This functional yet decorative element not only collects excess wax but also adds a refined touch to the otherwise utilitarian design. The aged patina of the brass speaks to centuries of use, bearing witness to the traditions and resilience of the Jewish communities that once cherished them. These candle holders embody the simplicity, ingenuity, and cultural heritage of Eastern European Jewish artisanship.
