Medieval Bronze Very rare Gothic three kings candlestick...

This object is a very rare Gothic bronze three-king candlestick (also known as a hybrid candlestick or two-armed pricket candlestick) dating from the 13th/14th century (circa 1275-1350). This type of candlestick was mainly produced in the Low Countries (the Southern Netherlands/Flanders) and Germany (Nuremberg). Dimensions: 10.7 x 8.3 x 7.6 cm Weight: 285.51 g Condition: excellent condition - completely intact with slight traces of corrosion Hybrid design: It combines two different ways of placing a candle. It has a central vertical pin (pricket) to insert a candle, and two lateral candle sockets where candles can be placed. Construction: The candlestick stands on a characteristic round, disk-shaped base that rests on three modest feet (tripod base). Often the upper piece with the arms was loosely over the central pin, allowing it to be rotated or adjusted. Shipping method: this lot is excellently packaged and shipped via DHL or UPS using the smart shipping service of Catawiki.
