Etsy - Papillonpieces Antique Metal & Brass Candle Holder
Description
This listing is a rare find, a beautiful early 19th Century Antique Hog Scraper Candle Holder, so called because it was the same shape as the tool used to scrape the hides of hogs! PLEASE NOTE: The other items in my photos are for display only & are not included in the price. This candle holder is made of sheet metal with a push button handle to the side (still working) & a decorative brass top (which may have been a later addition). The earliest hog scrapers had their candle shafts cleated through the base like this one as opposed to a square nut attached to a screw inside the shaft which you see on later made ones. It has been cleaned & polished & retains a beautifully aged patina as you can see in my photographs. Please do look at these in close up as they make up an important part of the description. It stands at 21 cm high x 10.5 cm diameter at the base & weighs just over 200 gm This candle holder would look wonderful on display, & can still be used. A wonderful piece of history that makes an interesting talking point. An original gift idea too. I currently ship within the UK & to selected countries using a Tracked & Signed For Service but if you would like a quote for shipping abroad & your country is not listed then please do not hesitate to get in touch. I will happily combine postage for multiple purchases where possible & always refund shipping overages. Thank you for looking & happy shopping.
