This listing is for a vintage wrought iron Courting Candle in good condition. Minimal rust.
\"In the 1600\'s to the 1800\'s, courting candles were used by the man of the home to set boundaries for his daughter. When the daughter\'s suitor came calling, the father lit the candle in a sitting room where the couple conversed. When the candles burnt to the metal at the top of the candle holder, it was time for the suitor to promptly leave. However, the father could change the height of the candle based on how comfortable he felt about the suitor. Also, the father could immediately snuff out the candle or add a second candle depending on what he deemed necessary. The courting candle served as a quiet, yet firm reminder to the suitor to end his date.\"
