Brass candlestick, The object is composed of two parts: the base and the stem with candleholder. They are cast and then turned. The high, profiled conical foot has a raised edge at the top, which means it can also serve as a fat trap. The trunk is riveted on the cone-shaped middle part and then turned off at the bottom. The trunk, which is decorated with four knots and one of which is slightly larger, turns into a profiled, almost cylindrical holder at the top. Foot and trunk are decorated with shivering. The holder is shortened during a repair, so that the rectangular openings are missing. The trunk is soldered at the bottom., anonymous, Northern Netherlands (possibly), 1450 - 1500, brass (alloy), soldering, h 24 cm d 12 cm
