The method allowed several turned sections to be drawn tightly together into one tall form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 10.5 inches tall, it suits someone building a mixed brass candlestick grouping or looking for a single taller piece for a mantel, dining table, or sideboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stacked spherical nodes and repeated flared collars give this example a strong baluster profile rather than the simpler column shape found on many brass candle holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aged surface has been left visible rather than polished bright, so the next owner can decide whether to keep the darker patina or polish the brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping + Trust (Reading Vintage standards)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/myreadingvintage.com\/pages\/shipping-policy\"\u003ePhoto-verified condition\u003c\/a\u003e, no surprises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked with care.
