18th Early 19th C Iron Tin Candlebox Holder Antique NR Description: The Best Late 18th, Early 19th Century Candlebox -- Complete in Old Paint Truly one of the best of the best, and certainly the finest example we've ever had the pleasure of offering. Circa 1790-1830, this piece is a fine representation of the art of period metalsmithing, being of heavy tin construction with soldered seams. A box such as this was created to hold candles, keeping them out of harms way and suspended on a wall were they would be out of reach (tallow candles were a fond item of various animals). As you can see the piece has a crown formed back design. Note the great structural supports on the reverse with are completed with the two hanging loops. The lid has a great bordered design, complete with a scrolled closure tab. Please take a moment to You'll see the piece is coated in the remains of old paint, a lovely deep reddish purple hue. From age there is some oxidation and pitting to the piece, it's created a wondeful form and surface full of original charm and certaily embodying the feel and design of period country tin ware. The piece measures approximately 10 1/4" wide with the compartment being 4 1/2" in diameter. Just a wonderful period late 18th, early 19th century candle box offered for a week with no reserve.
