Description

This type of candleholder is sometimes found built into the wall of 18th century fireplaces. The idea is that with the white-glued stove as a reflector, you can create light in an entire room using only a small candle. Candle holders of this type were therefore normally walled into the front or outer side of the fireplace.

If you don’t have one of these candle holders, you can add it later by finding a joint in the wall, carefully drilling a hole and fixing the holder with plaster. Any damage to the plaster can then be painted over with new paint. The candle holder has a forged conical spout where the candle is placed. The spout is just as suitable for today’s standard candles, such as “antique candles” or crown candles, as for old-fashioned tallow candles. The back end of the holder is bent so that the candle holder sits firmly in the wall and cannot be pulled out. If you want to tap the candle holder into a timber wall, for example, you should first knock off this bend.
