Horse Head Decorated Brass Candle Holder
c. 1770 Colonial Era, Unusual Ornate Brass Candle Holder with a Pair of Silvered Horse Head Decorations, Choice Extremely Fine.
This rare design highly ornate Brass Candle Holder has a Pair of Mated Silvered “Horse Head” decorations on opposite sides, located on the decorative device just above the base. The Candle Holder measures 7.75” tall x 4.25” at its round base. Overall light wear from use with a few trivial bumps to the bottom rim edge, having a natural great golden-brass patina. A most unusual lighting device, obviously owned by an equestrian or horse lover during the days when horses were critical to one’s life and livelihood. A very nice example for any Colonial Era display.
