Early-16th Century
Height 7 5/8 in.
Mark and Marjorie Allen, Amherst, New Hampshire.
Due to similarities to a candlestick recovered during the raising of King Henry VIII's, Mary Rose, related candlesticks are known as ‘Mary Rose’ candlesticks. A nearly identical candlestick is illustrated in Christopher Bangs, The Lear Collection: A Study of Copper-Alloy Socket Candlesticks, A.D. 200-1700, (Bethlehem, PA: Oaks Printing Company, Inc., 1995), pp. 83 and 240, no. 46.
