Mid-Century Brass Chamberstick Candle Holder

This is a vintage chamberstick-style candle holder constructed from brass-alloy metal with a warm, golden finish. The item features a circular base plate with a wide flat rim surrounding a central fluted or sunburst textured basin designed to catch wax drippings. From the center rises a cylindrical candle socket that contains a secondary internal sleeve to securely hold a standard taper candle. A distinctive sculptural ribbon handle is attached to the side of the socket and the base, curving elegantly upwards and tapering to a decorative curled tip for carrying. Physically, the piece appears to be mid-20th century in design, possibly MCM (Mid-Century Modern) or Hollywood Regency influence, given its clean lines and metallic sheen. The surface shows visible signs of age including minor spotting, surface oxidation, and tarnish consistent with use and an unpolished patina. There is some darkened residue inside the candle cup, likely from soot or wax. The construction is solid with no visible cracks or loose joints, though small surface scratches are present on the base plate. No maker's marks are visible in the current view, but the design quality suggests mass-produced decorative hardware from the 1960s or 70s.
