{"product_id":"vintage-pair-of-tall-pricket-79562","title":"Vintage Pair of Tall Pricket Candlesticks, Silver-Tone Metal with Faceted Columns and Ringed Collars, Pillar Candle Holders, 28 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe pricket is older than the candlestick with a socket. In medieval churches and great halls, candles were pressed down onto a sharp metal spike rising from a drip dish, a simple design that could hold candles of any width. Today the pricket is ideal for thick pillar candles, which sit firmly on the spike and burn for hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair of tall candlesticks uses that ancient idea with a strong, modern profile. Each stands on a round, weighted base that flows up into a slim column with crisp faceted sides, narrowing and swelling in an elegant curve. Bands of fine rings mark the top and bottom of the column. At the top, a wide, shallow dish catches dripping wax, with a sharp spike at its centre to hold the candle. The silver-tone finish has softened in places with age, giving a gentle, lived-in sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe candlesticks are in good vintage condition, with light signs of use, and they stand very steadily. One base has a felt pad underneath, and the other shows bare metal. With a pair of pillar candles, they make a striking statement on a mantelpiece or at the centre of a dining table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a vintage pair of tall pricket candlesticks in silver-tone metal, with faceted columns, ringed collars and wide drip dishes. Each is 28 cm tall, and they are exactly as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e DETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Height 28 cm (11 in); base diameter 10 cm (3.9 in); dish diameter 11.6 cm (4.6 in) each.\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Silver-tone metal; weighted bases\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Geometric modern style; vintage\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: Professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide.
