Their designs are classical Renaissance. Some date from 16th C. Venice, some from the 15th C. Netherlands. All of them cast by hand in the same way as the 500 year-old originals were. Turning lathe finished. Each comes with a 'pricket' or large spike for a classic cathedral candle. The large, solid prickets can be exchanged for a smaller one, which works better when candles are used that are not pre-drilled. A truly unbelievable collection. All shapes are replicated from ancient rare originals. Highly sought after by collectors and interior designers.
