Solid Brass Baluster Candlestick 1970s Colonial Revival

This solid brass baluster candlestick dates broadly to the 1960s to 1980s and has a tall, stacked ball form with turned ridges and a flared candle cup.

The brass has developed golden brown patina, spotting, surface marks, and darker oxidation, with heavier oxidation visible across the underside of the base.

The traditional Colonial Revival and Spanish Baroque inspired shape gives it enough height for a mantel, dining table, sideboard, or mixed brass candle holder display.
