Gorgeous antique copper courting candle stand with drip pan and attached snuffer. Turn the small knob in the coil to rise and lower the taper candle height as it burns. Dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, courting candles were used to set time limits for suitors, with the adjustable spiral allowing the candle to burn for a specific duration. This piece is both a functional lighting accent and a conversation-starting collectible. The lovely patina on this copper candle holder will add gorgeous old-world romance to any interior. Dimensions: 5" Diameter Drip Pan x 4-3​/​4"H at the highest point where the snuffer hangs from, 3-1​/​2"H coil Conditions: Excellent antique condition. The metal is patina'd throughout, with an irregular finish across the entire piece. The base that lifts up and down works correctly and there are no noted flaws.
