A 19th Century folded sheet brass Dutch chamber stick with copper rivets holding the candle cup and brass handle. The sheet brass frying pan chamberstick probably originated in the low countries. It has the decorative pan punchings which is extensive and is indicative of Dutch work, around the end of the 18th century/begining of the 19th century. The handle has a pierced round hole for hanging. The socket is short rolled brass with no drip pan and it is held to the bottom by 3 riveted lugs (the rivets are copper) which are formed on the bottom of the rolled socket. The chamberstick is similar to other punch decorated Dutch sheet brass items, see #180. Similar chambersticks can also be seen in “Making Fire and Light” by John Caspall, figures 315 and 316. The chamberstick diameter is 16cm. and the handle is 12.5 cm. It is cm. tall and weighs 160 grams.
