Hand-Forged Iron Pricket Candlestick, SPIRAL

This iron candlestick is crafted with an emphasis on functionality and historical accuracy.

Its raw, handcrafted appearance makes it an ideal accessory for re-enactments, theatre stages, or as a unique decoration for your interior. Imagine the cosy atmosphere created by the flickering candlelight reflecting off the honest metal.

Practicality and Design Proven by Centuries

For centuries, pricket candlesticks were a simple and effective way to provide light. Their construction was brilliantly simple:

• Universal Use: The sharp spike in the middle could hold any wax or tallow candle, regardless of its diameter.
• Stability: The flat, wide base ensured that the candlestick would not tip over.
• Safety: The handle was designed to be far enough from the flame and dripping wax.

This particular model, with its elegant spiral and S-shaped handle, is not only a practical tool but also a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that will liven up any space.

Care and Maintenance

This candlestick is made from sturdy mild steel and is delivered coated with a protective oil to prevent corrosion. Before the first use, we recommend wiping the oil off with a dry cloth or paper towel. If the candlestick is exposed to moisture, occasionally treat it lightly with any natural oil to maintain its appearance and functionality for many years. Avoid washing it in a dishwasher or using aggressive cleaning agents.

Warning:

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Ensure the candlestick is placed on a non-flammable surface and at a safe distance from flammable materials such as curtains or paper.
