Late 18th, Early 19th Century Lighting Support Hook with Nice Simple Design

All hand wrought, blacksmith made, this period lighting holder dates from the mid to late 18th century, circa 1770-1830.

Spikes such as this would have been hammered into the wall and beams of early homes for the purpose of supporting a grease (betty) lamp, lantern or other lighting device via the bottom support area.

As you can see the blacksmith who originally made the piece worked a very simple design of an orb shape to the face of the piece. Nice \"Acorn\" style end finial.

Measures 6 1/2\" in length.

There is a curled bend to the end spike curl.

Overall the piece is in good condition. At somepoint in its like someone coated it with some silver/grey colored paint. Could be removed if one chose to.

Sure to be a valued addition to any period home decor or as a means to accent and display any lighting collection. Offered for a Buy-It-Now Listing with a very affordable price!
