The Story
A truly rare find with a wonderful bohemian charm. This late 17th or early 18th-century chamberstick features a distinctive oval "frying pan" bowl and a long carry handle secured with traditional copper rivets. Its aged-yet-shiny patina reflects centuries of use, making it a soulful addition to a mantlepiece or bedside table. With its deep bowl designed to catch wax drips and a useful hanging hole, it is as practical as it is beautiful.
The Details
Dimensions: 8cm H (at handle) x 16cm W x 26cm D (including handle)
Material: Rolled Sheet Brass & Copper Rivets
Era: Circa 1700–1800 | Likely Dutch or English origin.
Condition: Excellent antique condition. Displays a rich, authentic patina with minor tarnish and light surface scratches consistent with its significant age.
Heritage Note
This "frying pan" style chamberstick represents a historic era of metalwork where utility met craftsmanship. The use of hand-rolled brass sheet and copper rivets is a hallmark of pre-industrial production.
