DescriptionFRESH FROM AN OLD NEW YORK CITY COLLECTION.
A FANTASTIC LATE 17TH CENTURY SPANISH OR PORTUGUESE BULBOUS SHAPED \"PEWTER\" CAPSTAN CANDLESTICK IN NICE CONDITION AND OLD COLOR WITH VERY RARE AND UNUSUAL DECORATION.
SPANISH OR PORTUGUESE, CIRCA 1680-1720 IN WONDERFUL OLD COLOR AND SURFACE.
FROM THE SAME COLLECTION AS THE LAST FEW WE HAVE SOLD.
RARELY DO YOU EVER FIND THIS TYPE OF STICK WITH ADDED DECORATION.
THIS GREAT STICK HAS NICE DETAILED INCISED LINE DECORATION ON THE BOTTOM RIM AS WELL AS THE BULBOUS BODY, (see photos).
THESE VERY RARE CANDLESTICKS RARELY COME ONTO THE MARKET. WE SEE THE MORE COMMON BRASS EXAMPLES BUT THE PEWTER EXAMPLES DID NOT SURVIVE. MANY WERE MELTED DOWN IN THE 18TH CENTURY TO MAKE NEWER PEWTER PIECES.
Made in the typical 17th Century manner the underneath color is absolutely untouched with the cast marks still present.
The condition is very nice, like many of these sticks made in pewter there is an old repair where the stem attaches to the base. It looks like an old 19th century repair, probably to fix a break or bend. It is very tight and strong. There is also the minor dings and surface abrasions you would expect from over 300 years of use. and the typical old denting and bruising we see in these early pewter examples.
5\" tall and the base flares to 2 3/4\" across.
Typical wear and imperfections with age.
