Antique French Brass Chamberstick with Wick Trimmer, 19th Century

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 Originally made to carry candlelight from room to room, it feels just as natural today on a bedside table, mantel, or dining table.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.
