Antique-style Hand-held Pyrogenic Candlestick – Brass And Gilded Crystal, 19th Century

Charming antique hand candlestick forming a stylized antique lamp, incorporating a functional lighter with a striker on top. The body is made of brass with a beautiful patina, resting on a pedestal base and featuring an elegant side handle decorated with a clover motif, both decorative and ergonomic. The central reservoir, accessible via a hinged lid, holds matches, while the top retains its original striker surface. The whole is surmounted by an elegant crystal drip pan decorated with foliage, enhanced with fine gold gilding, providing a refined contrast with the metal. A decorative and utilitarian object, typical of the late 19th or early 20th century, evoking the forms of reimagined antique lamps. Complete and perfectly functional. Beautifully crafted. Refined detail of the clover motif handle. Very decorative in a classic or eclectic interior.
