Offered is a fine mid-to-late 19th-century Victorian English brass candlestick featuring a classic multi-knop turned baluster column mounted on a clipped-corner square base. The underside retains its original internal iron push-up / ejector mechanism, designed to eject leftover candle stubs from the socket. Displays a rich, natural historic patina with age-appropriate surface wear, light oxidation, and subtle wax residue in the recessed turns. Measures approximately 9.5 inches tall with a 3.75-inch square base. Unpolished to preserve historical integrity.

Origin: England (English Domestic Brass)

Age: Victorian Era (c. 1850–1880)

Material: Cast Brass, Wrought/Poured Iron internal slider rod

Condition: Good antique condition overall. Retains original internal iron push-ejector rod and thumb plug. Minor surface wear, minor discoloration, and light wax buildup inside the socket appropriate for 19th-century age and domestic use. Uncleaned patina.

Authenticity Assessment

This piece exhibits all classic markers of an authentic mid-to-late 19th-century English brass domestic candlestick:

1. Underbody Cast Marks: The interior base shows uneven, hand-finished casting texture consistent with mid-19th-century core casting rather than modern uniform machine molding.

2. Iron Push-Rod Construction: The internal ejector features an iron slider rod with a flattened disk thumb-piece, showing natural surface oxidation and friction wear typical of 19th-century manufacture.

3. Turned & Finished Metal: Lathe turning rings and subtle seam lines along the baluster knops align precisely with English Birmingham-style brass founding techniques from 1850 to 1880.
