A fine pair of 19th century English brass and iron hogscraper candlesticks, these early candlesticks were en vogue circa 1780 to 1860. Usually made from tempered sheet iron, these have a beautiful patina and were called “hogscrapers” due to their resemblance to bristle removal devices at the time. Unusually however, this pair is made from brass as well as iron and have an upturned bowl base.
Price marked at $550 AUD the pair.
Measurements: 24.5cm high, 15cm base diameter.
Very good antique condition with wear and patina commensurate with age.
