Description:

Antique Circa 1760-1790 Colonial Era Rushlight Candleholder

Very Good+++  condition on this great early piece of lighting, just as seen in Fire and Light in the Home Pre-1820 (Caspall), Early American Antique Country Furnishings (Nuemann), Antique Iron (Schiffer) and other books referencing metalware and lighting devices of 18th century America.

Rushlights were used to hold rush reeds soaking in grease or oil (like cat-tail reeds) which burned for illumination.  This piece has a great formed in orb style counterbalance weight as seen in the photographs.   

Please enlarge the photographs and you\'ll see the great early blacksmith workmanship.  Note the tabbed \"penny style\" of the three feet and again the counter balance weight.

Again, great original condition. Stands 10 1/4\" tall.   We purchased this out of an estate of 18th century items were it was displayed on period candlestand, a great accent!

This lovely piece of period lighting is offered on a THREE day sale without reserve.
