About this work
According to Walter Hough, former Head Curator of Anthropology, United States National Museum and author of <i>Collection of Heating and Lighting Utensils in the United States National Museum</i> this type of candlestick was prevalent in south Central Europe. It is sometimes referred to as a coil or spiral candlestick. This example sits on a round drip pan with tripod legs. A guiding hook allows the height of the candle to be adjusted.
