This vintage brass push up candlestick has a tall cylindrical stem, round stepped base, and working side slide that raises the candle from inside the holder.
It has a warm aged brass finish with dark patina, surface wear, crackling, and a small dent on the upper rim.
The push-up mechanism still works well, making this a functional piece as well as a decorative one. It is a nice fit for primitive decor, reading-nook styling, historic home displays, or anyone who likes old brass with real character.
