This antique solid brass chamberstick dates back to the late 19th century and carries a wonderful historic charm. Featuring a classic low-profile design, a sturdy stepped base, and a sweeping loop handle with a distinct thumb rest, it was originally designed as a bedroom candlestick to guide the way up the stairs.
The piece shows fantastic manufacturing details, including a sandcast handle and concentric lathe-turned rings on the underside, which are highly characteristic of metalwork from this era. It is a heavy, substantial piece of brassware that holds a standard dining candle beautifully.
The condition is very good, showing natural cosmetic wear and surface marks as expected of an authentic piece of this age. It is structurally sound with a characterful patina and a lovely warm tone to the brass.
