An Early 16th Century Three Knop Flemish Brass Candlestick

Known as “knop sticks”, due to the discoid decoration on the shafts, these rare and unusual candleholders have either one, two, three, four or five knops, the hardest to find being the five knop, and also the one knop. They are always cast in two pieces, the base and the drip pan cast in a single piece, and the shaft and socket inserted and peened over inside the base. The candlestick is then finished on a very primitive treadle lathe.

Flemish, circa 1500.

Height 9⅝ inches.

Ref 821.
