Lot 204
A Spanish brass candlestick, late 17th/ early 18th century, with knopped stem and square base, on triangular section lug feet, 14cm high; and another Spanish brass candlestick, first half 17th century, with knopped stem, the square base with raised circular drip tray and integral bracket feet, 13cm high. Literature: Both of these candlesticks were featured by Ronald F Michaelis, Old Domestic Base Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978. The first is to the right of figure 146 on p100, whilst the earlier example is to the right of figure 143 on p99. Michaelis draws attention to the scallopshell cast to one corner to the base underside, probably the maker’s mark.
Lot 209
A Dutch brass Heemskerk candlestick, circa 1680, the tulip shaped socket and knopped stem with broad drip pan above an ‘inverted acorn’ moulding and a circular, spreading base, 21cm high. Cf. Ronald F.Michaelis, Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978, p78, figure 108a for a very similar example.
Lot 210
A Dutch brass Heemskerk candlestick, first half 17th century, with pierced socket and ‘ridged ball’ type knopped shaft, descending past the dished drip pan to a circular, spreading base, 19cm high. In his work Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, (Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978), p71ff Ronald Michaelis states that the ‘ridged ball’ stem types gave way to the ‘inverted acorn’ type by the middle of the 17th century, suggesting that this stick was probably produced between 1600 and 1650. However its place of origin is slightly less certain since it was probable that Heemskerk types were produced in England as well as the Netherlands, although apparently not in brass before circa 1620.
Lot 216
A George II brass candlestick in the William III manner, second quarter 18th century, with knopped stem, the square base with concave circular drip tray, 22.5cm high. Ronald Michaelis suggests that this form, made in the 18th century technique but in a much earlier style, reflected the reluctance of provincial makers to adopt the newer styles of the day. Cf Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978, p116.
Lot 219
A Flemish bronze pricket candlestick, mid 16th century, the pricket and drip pan above a heavily knopped and inverted baluster cast stem, on a triform socle, the spreading triform base with ogee cast sides and three stylised feet, 37cm high. Literature: Cf. John Caspall, Making Fire and Light in the Home pre-1820, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1987, see figure 114, p69 for a closely related example.
Lot 237
An English brass candlestick in the 15th century manner, early 18th century, with cylindrical socket on a slightly tapering stem, with spreading, circular base, 21cm high. Ronald Michaelis illustrates a very similar example as figure 170 on p116 of his work Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, (Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978). He points out in an earlier chapter covering candlesticks of the 14th-16th centuries that these differ from the early 18th century copies in that the shafts of the earlier models feature entasis, ie a slight swelling or tapering, whereas the later ones do not. Interestingly, the example in this lot does actually swell towards the base, although it cannot reasonably predate 1700.
