Candlestick

This candlestick/candleholder is copied after a 14th-century example now in the Museum of London.  Let us know if you want us to provide a half-inch diameter candle for immediate use.

Notice: Like the original these candle holders have a small hole in the bottom of the socket into which the candle fits. This is probably a design feature in the original – it permits you to easily shove the burned-down stub of the candle up out of the socket. It also, as our testing has demonstrated, permits the last little bit of wick to fall together with a puddle of wax to fuel it onto the table surface where it burns merrily. Please supply some nonflammable barrier like a bit of aluminum foil or a 14th century penny (the solution of one happy customer with numismatic interests).
