[QUOTE="Adrian Lewis, post: 2444933, member: 12565"]I didn´t expound the prickets in the OP were solely French, I said they were typically French as found by me in my years living in France and also in Britain in the antiques trade over many years. Your lillies look nothing like the carving at the base of the OPs pricket sticks and are reasonably definitive as such IMO. Yes, as has been said, the tri-footed base was a European wide ecclesiastical concept in candlestick making but I was making a judgement based on pieces I have seen, handled, bought and sold....but I'm not going to fall out with you over a different perspective on symbolic interpretation as you are obviously schooled in the theory of such. I can only go by first hand experience.;)[/QUOTE]
