Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this handsome three-piece collection of vintage pewter candlesticks featuring a matched pair by Empire Pewter and a coordinating handled chamberstick by Preisner Pewter.
The collection brings together three pieces with remarkably complementary proportions and traditional styling: two matching Empire Pewter weighted candlesticks, model #780, and one Preisner Pewter handled chamberstick, model #2374. While the Preisner chamberstick is not part of the original Empire pair, the three display beautifully together and create a cohesive vintage pewter grouping.
The matched Empire candlesticks feature broad stepped circular bases rising into smooth baluster-form candle cups. Both undersides are clearly marked “Empire Pewter Weighted 780.” One remarkably retains its vintage caution label warning against dishwasher use and allowing a candle to burn completely down to the metal.
The coordinating Preisner Pewter #2374 chamberstick takes the traditional form of a shallow circular wax-catching pan surrounding a central taper holder, finished with an elegant curled finger-loop handle. The chamberstick form reaches back centuries to portable candleholders designed to be carried from room to room, making this an especially appealing accent for Colonial, Early American and traditional interiors.
Together, the three pieces have the understated gray-silver appearance.
