A little post on a little strangeness I came across today.
I have no idea what it is. In fact, the clerk at Goodwill was thrilled I was buying it. She tole me a lot of people have been asking what it is.
I don't know either! But I thought it needed a home, with MOI!

If you haven't checked out this blog, you must if you have any interest in junky restorations! This is one of my favorite parties!
I don't know what it is, but I love it! I totally would have bought it. Does it come apart? You could make some amazing finials??? ~Lori
ReplyDeleteWe used to have lamps like this long, long ago. The middle part was a sorta small table.
ReplyDeleteSome kind of lamp or candle holder possibly? I love that you bought it!
ReplyDeleteNot sure either but it does resemble a lamp table. Cheers SpecialK XoXo

It is a solid brass candlestick! The "dish" is the drip pan for the melting wax. It comes apart and can be used at several different heights. I had 2 of these at one time. Finding a candle to fit was tricky. A florist store carries plastic adapters that fit opening yet give you something wider to sit candle on.
ReplyDeleteBut I feel sure you do not intend to use it for such. The many pieces could be used for all sorts of things! Please share...Lynette
