VERY UNIQUE SPRIAL CANDLESTICK – MID 18th C.

A well made adjustable spiral candlestick with a large iron base and a nicely designed carrying handle from the mid 18th century. This candlestick was designed foe safety and function.

It is an intriguing fact that invariably  this type of candlestick  has a coat of black paint.  Outstanding condition.(TBKE) Dimensions: 7 1/4″H 5 1/2″ Base Diameter List Price:$225
