Late 18th, Early 19th Century Lighting Support Hook

All hand wrought, blacksmith made, this period lighting holder dates from the mid to late 18th century, circa 1770-1820.

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As you can see the blacksmith who originally made the piece worked in a punch work design face. An interesting example!Measures 5 1/2\" in length.

Overall the piece is in good condition. Slight \"wobble\" to the face of the design were it meets the center rivet, only noticed on handling, would not be noticable once displayed.

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!Thanks for visiting Foxrun-Farms now in our 19th year on !
