Pair of 18th-Century Style Gilt Brass Pricket Candlesticks

This pair of 18th-century style gilt brass pricket candlesticks draws on the traditional forms of European ecclesiastical brasswork. Each candlestick features a vigorously turned shaft composed of superimposed balusters, rings, and moulded bands, rising to a broad drip pan fitted with its original iron pricket for securing a candle.

The faceted triangular bases are strongly moulded and rest on three small feet, giving the pair the architectural stability characteristic of traditional altar fittings. A deep gilt patina further emphasizes the turned brass construction and gives these candlesticks a rich, timeworn appearance.

Turned Brass Shafts

The shafts are the defining feature of the pair. Their sequence of rounded balusters, rings, and moulded bands creates a rhythmic profile typical of turned brass objects.

Above each shaft, a wide moulded drip pan provides a practical surface for catching candle wax. The original iron pricket rises from its centre, preserving the traditional function of this distinctive form.

Faceted Triangular Bases

Each candlestick stands on a faceted triangular base with pronounced stepped mouldings. Three small feet lift the base slightly from the supporting surface and complete the formal composition.

The geometric base provides an effective contrast to the rounded, turned shaft. Together, these elements give the candlesticks a strong sculptural quality that remains visible even when they are displayed without candles.

Ecclesiastical Brasswork Tradition

Pricket candlesticks have a long association with European churches and chapels, where turned brass altar fittings were valued for their durability and formal presence. These examples draw on that historic vocabulary while functioning equally well as decorative objects in a domestic interior.

Their deep gilt patina gives them an especially convincing aged character. Consequently, they can sit comfortably on a traditional fireplace mantel, console, or large dining table, while their substantial proportions also make them suitable candidates for conversion into lamps.
