Title
DEV-002F46 Candlestick
Description
English: Medieval to Postmedieval cast copper alloy candlestick stem and bowl, probably dating from the 15th to the 17th century (c.1400 - 1600 AD). The bowl has a straight rim and vertical sides, which then taper at an angle to the stem. There is a small hole, 2mm in diameter, at the centre on one side of the bowl. It is not clear whether the hole is original. The inside diameter of the bowl is 24.30mm. The length of the bowl from the top to the beginning of the stem is 44.50mm. The thickness of the bowl is 2.40mm. There are no obvious scratchmarks on the inside of the bowl, which would indicate the clearing of wax. However, inside the bottom of the bowl, there may be a slight coating of wax. Without further analysis this is difficult to ascertain.

The stem is solid, cylindrical and plain, with two prominent collars or knops. There is a stepped convex moulding at the base of the stem. The stem is socketed, where it would have fitted into the base of the candlestick (now mostly missing).The stem measures 72mm in length and is 11.40mm in diameter. The circular collars are 20.80mm in diameter. Where the collars protrude from the stem, they are a thickness of 6.40mm. The collars taper to a thickness of 2.20mm. The distance between the beginning of the stem to the first collar, and the second collar to the top of the moulding at the base are equidistant, measuring 12.54mm. The collars are separated by a distance of 14.70mm.

A fragment of the base of the candlestick remains attached to the stem, through which the socket protrudes slightly by about 2mm. It is possible to see the break around the circumference at the top of the base.

A candlestick with a similar bowl and stem with two collars is illustrated in 'English Latten Domestic Candlestick' by R Brownsword, figure 11 (FRG datasheet 1). Other candlesticks with similar bowls and stems (but only with one collar) are illustrated in 'Old Domestic Base Metal Candlesticks' by RF Michaelis, pages 42 - 43, figures 29 - 31.
