<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 64346, member: 44&quot;]This footed long handle chamberstick would not have had a shade. I haven&#039;t been able to date it because of the feet. Many of these were around in the 18th century. Many&nbsp; were made by the English, Dutch, French and also in American. No doubt some were made in Germany. Reproductions were and may still be sold at Colonial Williamsburg and Old Sturbridge Village. <i>The Brass Book, American, English and European Fifteen Century through 1850</i>, pp. 205-206, has pictured several long handled chambersticks dating from the early 1700s to the late 1700s. It seems by 1800 the long handle was out of style. Most have a pierced handle allowing them to be hung up when not in use. Most importantly none of them are footed like yours. As yours is footed I doubt it dates pre late 1800s and possibly a reproduction dating from the mid 20th century?</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is footed and claims to be Victorian:</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/114307286/victorian-brass-candlestick-with-claw" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/114307286/victorian-brass-candlestick-with-claw" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/114307286/victorian-brass-candlestick-with-claw</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
