Details

Warm brass, old patina, and the beautiful practicality of French country design make this late 19th-century chamberstick a wonderful addition to your collected home. The generous round drip tray, raised candle socket, and carrying ring secured with copper rivets are simple details, but they give the chamberstick its unmistakable character. Originally made to carry candlelight from room to room, it feels just as natural today on a bedside table, mantel, or dining table.

A separate 20th-century wick trimmer accompanies the chamberstick, ready to sit beside it when you light a taper at home. I love using antiques like this in everyday spaces—among books, flowers, and the things you have gathered over the years. They don't need to be precious to make an impression; the best ones simply become part of the way you live.

  • Measures 8-1/2" x 3"h.

Collector’s Notes.

Chambersticks are easy to recognize by their wide drip tray and small handle or finger ring, designed to make carrying a candle from room to room safe and simple. They were everyday objects before electricity, when candlelight was part of the daily rhythm of a home.

They’re the kind of antiques that bring history into your everyday life—beautiful enough to display, made to be used. With age, brass develops a warm, mellow patina that gives each chamberstick its own character. Set this on your bedside table, mantel, or dining table, and you have a small reminder of the rituals and comforts of home before electricity.
