Cast as a high-quality reproduction of 18th-century colonial lighting accessories, this pair features a heavily applied, mottled dark patina that provides an authentic, aged aesthetic.
The saucer-style chamberstick is designed with a wide drip-catchment base and features a classic ring handle with a flat thumb rest. The central cylindrical column houses a functional slotted push-up wax ejector mechanism, operated via a decorative sliding knob. The underside is secured with a traditional threaded central bolt and nut assembly and bears a recessed cartouche maker's mark (a stylized 'C' enclosing a smaller motif).
The companion wick trimmer (traditionally used to trim charred wicks without spreading soot) features a rectangular catchment box attached to the scissor blade to trap hot debris. The trimmers rest vertically in a custom-fitted, octagonal-based stand with a turned stem. The underside of the stand is explicitly hallmarked "MADE IN ITALY" around a central node. See less
