Pair of bronze pricket candlesticks on three ball feet – late Gothic style, 19th century

Pair of bronze pricket candlesticks in the late Gothic style

A pair of bronze pricket candlesticks in the late Gothic style. A deep, round drip pan carries an iron pricket on which a thick candle is set. The slender stem is articulated with sharp rings and discs and rests on a stepped, bell-shaped foot with three bun feet. The model follows Flemish and Dutch church candlesticks of the 15th and 16th centuries; this pair was cast in the 19th century, when these medieval forms became popular again with the Gothic Revival. The bronze has a dark, natural patina.

Why we chose this piece

A matching pair with the beautiful austere lines of the late Middle Ages. With thick candles they instantly create atmosphere on a mantelpiece, a table or a windowsill.

Style and interior

Suited to a classic, rustic or wabi-sabi interior, a monastic setting with oak and natural stone, but also as a bold contrast in a clean, modern interior.
