A Whisper of Lamplight, this heirloom push-up candlestick holder from the late 18th - early 19th century helps you step back to a time lit only by the moon and the gentle dance of a flame. Before electricity, every ray of light was precious, this piece tells a story in its warm, untouched patina. Made of heavy sheet metal every subtle mark and softened edge speaks to countless evenings of quiet reading, handwritten letters, and intimate conversations.
