Candlesticks |
|
|
Candlesticks were made of brass, pewter, glass, sterling silver, plated silver, and all types of pottery and porcelain. The earliest candlesticks, dating from the sixteenth century, held the candle on a pricket (sharp pointed spike). These lost favor because in times of strife the large church candlesticks with prickets became formidable weapons, so the socket was mandated. A candlestick's shape is often a good indicator of its age. Candlesticks changed in style through the centuries, and designs range from Classic to Rococo to Art Nouveau to Art Deco.
