DescriptionFRESH FROM AN OLD NEW YORK CITY COLLECTION, WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PURCHASE A GREAT COLLECTION OF EARLY 17TH CENTURY STICKS FROM AN OLD COLLECTOR IN THE CITY.
THESE EARLY PEWTER CAPSTAN STYLE STICKS ARE HIGHLY PRIZED AND VERY COLLECTIBLE. THIS FORM WAS COLLECTED AND INCLUDED IN THE SALES OF ALL THE MAJOR EARLY COLLECTORS OF OUR TIME, INCLUDING ROGER BACON, KATHERINE PRENTISS MURPHY AND ALICE WINCHESTER.
THESE STICKS ARE OFTEN FOUND AS SINGLES AND USUALLY THEY HAVE NUMEROUS REPAIRS AND RESTORATIONS.
A FANTASTIC MATCHED PAIR OF LATE 17TH CENTURY SPANISH OR PORTUGUESE BULBOUS SHAPED \"PEWTER\" CAPSTAN CANDLESTICKS IN NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION AND OLD POLISHED COLOR TO RESEMBLE SILVER.
OFTEN, IN THE 18TH CENTURY, PEWTER WAS \"POLISHED\" TO RESEMBLE THE MORE COSTLY SILVER.
SPANISH OR PORTUGUESE, CIRCA 1680-1720 IN WONDERFUL ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH NO REPAIRS, ADDITIONS OR ALTERATIONS.
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 of the sticks are WONDERFUL, just the minor dings and surface abrasions you would expect from over 300 years of use and the typical surface stains and color imperfections we see in early pewter and one very slight line, (see photos).
They are both still tight.
THERE ARE NO REPAIRS OR RESTORATIONS. It has the typical old denting and bruising we see in these early pewter examples.
An assembled group of four of this style stick was in the collection of Ivrin and Anita Schorsch and was sold at Sotheby\'s in 2016.
4 3/4 tall and the base flares to 3\" across.
Typical wear and imperfections with age.
