Title
Medieval candlestick
Description
English: An incomplete cast pewter candle stick dating from the late Medieval to the Post-Medieval period, (c. AD 1475 - c. AD 1600). The stick is incomplete and the base is missing. The stick and socket are circular in section. The stick has a raised collar just below the socket. At the top the stick expands out into the socket with a distinct carination between the expansion and sides of the socket. The socket is decorated with a collar at the top, base and in the centre. The base of the socket extends down into the shaft. The object has a dark grey patina.

A candlestick of similar design is illustrated by Brownsword and dated late fifteenth/sixteenth centuries (Brownsword 1985, 'English Latten Domestic Candlesticks 1400-1700'. no. 7). A more complete example which can be found on the database is SOM-581B96.
