Antique pricket (spike) candle stand constructed from copper sheet, hand-formed with a rolled and soldered seam and an original center spike designed to secure a candle. This is a larger-than-average example, measuring approximately 14 inches tall with a 4-inch diameter base, giving it strong visual presence and stability.
The copper body is non-magnetic, showing only minimal magnet response at the soldered seam, which is consistent with period construction methods. The surface exhibits authentic age-related patina, oxidation, and wear from use and age. No maker’s marks observed. Candle not included.
This is a solid, utilitarian piece of early lighting that displays exceptionally well in primitive, colonial, farmhouse, or historical décor settings.
