Why it’s here

Everything in the Homestedt Antiques collection was sourced from rural barns, markets, and dealers across the North East of the United States, England, and Sweden, the same regions that have inspired much of what Homestedt does. These are objects that have already lived a life. They were made by hand, used daily, and have arrived here still doing what they were always meant to do. We collect these pieces because they show the kind of character that comes from decades of use, the evidence of the maker’s hand, and a beauty that adds texture, history and warmth to a home.

What you’re seeing in this collection is just a small selection of our antiques. For the full range of our latest pieces, we recommend a visit to our North Branch, NY location where you’ll find an ever changing collection of pieces that have caught our eye.

About this piece

A classic brass candlestick in a good, useful height, tall enough to make a presence on a table or mantelpiece, simple enough to work with almost anything. The natural patina speaks to its age and a long life in someone’s home. Works well alone or grouped with other candlesticks.

Condition

Good antique condition. Natural brass patina consistent with age. Structurally sound.

Care & display

Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth. Polish occasionally with a brass cleaner if desired, though the natural patina that develops with age is part of the piece’s character and many prefer to leave it. Keep dry between uses.
