Brass candlestick, The low profiled conical foot has a raised edge at the top, and serves as a fat trap. The round trunk with three knots and a thread is tapered, so that the upper part can be used as a candle pin. The trunk is riveted in the foot. The two-armed shifter is placed on the trunk, which center has an opening that is too narrow for the trunk and into which a screw thread is not fitted. The turner forms one whole with the two almost cylindrical candle holders, in which openings are provided in the wall at the front and rear. The turner with its holders, which show remarkably large castings on the inside, is a falsification from the nineteenth century., anonymous, Southern Netherlands (possibly), c. 1400 - c. 1500, brass (alloy), founding, h 29.5 cm d 11.5 cm
