18th C. Bell Metal Peg Lamp
Seldom-seen bell metal or bronze saucer-based push up candle stick with miniature wedding band-type turning and riveted carry ring. An uncommon feature is that the lift tab is peened inside the pushup and rotates freely. The gorgeous dark oxidized patina is untouched. This is a stick with a tube large enough in diameter to accept both candles and peg lamps, such as the fitted clear blown Sandwich glass font with whale oil burner. Flemish, probably 1790-1800. Peg lamp font is ca. 1830-1840.
