Push-up Candlesticks

Push-up Candlesticks


Height: 7″

Price: $250.00 per pair

Product code: L05

Tall and beautiful, the Push-Up Candlesticks are an original design. There is a brass rod which is attached to a platform within the socket. The rod extends down through the shaft and through the underside of the base. There a small brass knob is threaded to the rod. Atop the platform is a nickel which has been soldered in place.

I sometimes refer to these “sticks” as my Jefferson Ejectors. The push-up feature is used in those instances when the candle burns low and into the socket. The candle stub can easily be pushed out without enlisting the aid of a kitchen knife!  Try to avoid letting candles burn this low as the pewter can become damaged.

The R. Dunham Candlesticks are our best sellers. They are reproductions of those made in the 19th century by Westbrook, Maine pewterer, Rufus Dunham. The urn shaped shafts are among the most beautiful ever produced and their popularity in our shop today supports that claim. The shafts are hollow (“slush”) cast just like the originals, but are quite sturdy. The tall base has two decorative incised lines and a rolled lower edge for maximum stability and strength.

The 3 inch Candleholder is a modern form that I designed a few years ago. A number of my customers asked for a dish to go under their pillar candles and this design was the end result. It has sturdy, wide base and a nicely flared lip to catch any stray wax. Each candleholder comes with a locally made scented candle.

The Ring Handle  and Plain Handle Candle snuffers are original designs that have been quite popular. Pewter is soft, so a long pewter handle on a delicate piece is not practical. Therefore, I created compact handles which are sturdy and easy to use. They do not take up a lot of space on the mantel either!
