A visit yesterday to our local Rugby Club's boot sale (in the rain), produced this extraordinary old church candle stick.
It measures 1 metre 50 cms high, is made of brass, and is quite heavy (maybe 10 to 15 kilos).
Of course, it has no real age, I'd be surprised if it's even 100 years old. It's origin is unclear, but it's probably been half-inched from some rural Latvian or Montenegrin church.
When I was still in the antique business, it's what we used to call 'a decorator's piece', which is exactly why I bought it!
Yes Siree, that's what I CALL a candlestick! A crazy lump of bling.
