Candle Holder, Brass Tall Column, Square Stepped Base, Engraved Detail, Single Taper, Vintage 1970s-1980s pitchers small lithographed tin pinback buttonsAt twelve and a half inches, this one commands the room. This single brass taper holder is a genuinely striking piece a tall column with engraved detail, a square base with concentric circles, and four stepped feet that give it architectural weight and presence. The brass is solid (not plated) and heavy for its size. The patina is exactly right: not too dark, still carrying some warmth and shine, the way old brass looks when it's been well cared for
