Dismantled Neoclassical Style Brass Candlestick

This item is a traditional brass candlestick, currently shown in a disassembled state across a dark fabric background. The piece consists of three primary components: a wide circular weighted base, a fluted central column (stem), and a matching candle cup or decorative nozzle. The construction utilizes cast brass with a yellowish-gold metallic hue. The design features Neoclassical elements, most notably the vertical fluting on the stem and the radial ribbing on the base and shoulder pieces. The stem is baluster-shaped with a threaded end, indicating a screw-together assembly common in 19th and early 20th-century metalwork. In terms of condition, the brass exhibits a significant patina with darkened areas of oxidation and tarnish, particularly within the recessed grooves of the fluting. There is visible surface wear including small scratches and light pitting consistent with age and use. The threading on the central post appears intact but may require cleaning to ensure a stable reassembly. The style is reminiscent of 19th-century European craftsmanship, likely produced in the late Victorian or early Edwardian period. The weight of the base suggests a quality casting designed for stability.
