Description:
Brass candlestick with a plain flared flange, over stepped beehive-knop rings on the shaft that ends in a vertical faceted, shaped foot, on a rectangular base with cut or chamfered corners. There is a push-up ejector in the shaft. In general, these forms of 19th century candlesticks are often thicker and heavier than earlier forms, although they are much lighter in weight because of improved casting techniques. These new forms included faceting and an wide variety of knop shapes, such as these beehive knops, and rectangular bases.
