antique or modern repro candlestick?

prick candlestick on lion legs made of brass, alloy bronze? no idea. it is 10cm wide and 20.5cm long. at the bottom no mark

 

Modern.

 

any idea where and when is made? Is it a decade old or much older?

 

Relatively speaking.....newer....

 

My opinion: The rod or nut connecting the components appears to be plated zinc; origin, probably China; age, 10 years or less.

 

Thanks @Robert Ransom.
I have absolutely no idea what plated zinc or other materials should look like so I took it apart to be able to photograph well so that you can judge it better.

i thought this candle holder consists of 3 pieces but surprising to see that it is made up of several pieces. I could also finish the top piece if I exerted enough force, but I haven't done that now.

it looks like a bit of a mixed bag

 

Could be as early as the 50s/60s, and thus made anywhere, but if newer, brass is mainly an Indian thing these days, which is what I think.

It appears the cap, small triangle and the base component are threaded. Is this correct? The other two parts appear to be smooth bored.

 

Not the small triangle. The others are threaded

Edit: or maybe small also has a screw thread. Viewed from the bottom I guess yes

, from the top I doubt.; seemed that there is none or it has been used in such a way that the threads have disappeared

 

Looks somebody tried to mimic 17th century spanish pricket . I found this examples, unfortunately they dont show the bottom

The small triangle appears to have been drilled which resulted in the removal of most of the previously tapped thread. My guess, as to why, is the connecting steel center rod used in the refurb. was slightly thicker due to the zinc coating. If my assumption is correct, the DOM is probably 50's, maybe earlier?
I sent an email requesting closeup photos of the bottom of the base. Will advise upon receipt.

 

Thanks @Robert Ransom, to whom did you sent an email? I didnt received an email

 

1stDibs. Sorry, my brain works faster than fingers.

 

@Hi2022
Still awaiting response from 1stDibs. I asked for photos of the bottom of the base. I'm looking for a comparison to your item.

 

Thanks @Robert Ransom verry kind of you!

 

@Hi2022
It appears 1stDibs seller will not forward photos of 17th century candle holders. Well, I tried.
