Candleholder

This brass candleholder dates from the 18th century.

It has a deep round tray and an ornamental pierced handle in the shape of a double trefoil.

It is thought the candle was introduced to Britain by the Romans. From then until the second quarter of the 19th century, it remained the most widely used form of artificial light.
