This compact brass chamberstick takes its name from the shape of its base: a low, rounded dish that looks like half a donut. The base is formed from a single piece of sheet brass with a rolled rim, rising to a raised central boss. It is hollow underneath, like an inverted bowl.

The holder comes apart into two pieces. A threaded brass post projects from the center of the base, and the candle cup fastens onto it. The cup is a tapered cylinder with a flared, rolled lip at the top and a narrow collar at its foot that seats against the boss. Because it breaks down this way, it could easily be packed and carried, which made such low holders practical for traveling, camp, or bedside use. It is small and sturdy, and it sits flat and steady.

Dimensions (approximate):
Base diameter: 3 1/2"
Candle cup length (removed from base): 1 1/2"
Candle cup rim diameter: 1"
Overall height, assembled: approx. 2 1/4"

Condition:
The holder is in good, honest condition with a warm, mellow golden patina that has not been over-polished.

  • Base, top surface: Light scattered scratches and handling wear, mostly fine circular marks in the dish. A small mark appears on the lower face of the dish. No dents, splits, or repairs are visible, and the rolled rim is intact all the way around.
  • Base, underside: Reddish-brown oxidation spotting on one side, a few small spots of green verdigris along the inner edge of the rim, and general age toning. A visible flat spot from contact with a harder surface over time.
  • Center post and boss: Green verdigris around the threaded post and the socket area. This is typical where moisture or old wax collected over the years.
  • Candle cup: Clean exterior with even patina. Inside, there is darkened soot and wax residue from use, along with some verdigris at the bottom around the post.

Overall, this is a solid example showing genuine age and use, with no apparent damage beyond normal surface wear. It is ready to display as is, or it can be lightly cleaned. [stp][ph:L]
