W, Cooper and K. Gordon Collections. Literature: Illustrated R. F. Michaelis, 'British Pewter', p.74 and K. G. Gordon, 'Pewter, The Candlestick Maker's Bawle, A Family Portrait', no. 17.

With broad flat and line incised socket flange, a single upper fillet to cylindrical stem and a ball knop, on a spreading circular base with stepped footrim, height 17.8cm, base diameter 14cm Provenance: Private Collection, London, 2000, thence Anne & Frederick Vogel III Collection. Sold Sotheby's, New York, 19 January 2019, Lot 1033 Literature: A similar example illustrated C. Bangs, The Lear Collection: A Study of Copper-Alloy Socket Candlesticks, A.D. 200 - 1700 (1995), p. 142, Cat. 115. In Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks (1978), R. F. Michaelis wrote about the ball-knop trumpet-based candlestick (a type more commonly found in pewter) as 'a late, and abortive, attempt at a departure from the drip-tray proper, the hollow 'ball-knop' obviously serving a very useful function as a grip for lifting or carrying the piece, but almost completely useless as a hindrance to falling candle-grease' (p. 83). He goes on to note that to compensate, the flange at the top of the socket is wider than usual, which is a noticeable feature of this rare candlestick ** This item is part of the Christopher Bangs collection **.
