This candlestick is thought to have been made in the 18th century. It is made of tinned iron and is tubular, with a solid, round base. There is a slide down the side by which the height of the candle could be adjusted. It was formerly part of the collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum, but nothing is known of its origins before that.
