Pair of candlesticks Cellar Rat

Pair of old cellar rat candle holders. The cellar rat is a sliding candle holder, for a single candle. Designed more than a thousand years ago, this candle holder had the primary function of illuminating the winemaker in his cellar, but also more broadly all those who went to a dark place. The mobile base, called "elevator", makes it possible to raise the candle as it melts. Probable origin of burgundy. They are made of iron, a little oxidized, the patina of time is beautiful, they are very decorative. Diameter 10cm, height 22cm. Total weight 1, 3kg. Sends fast and neat, or to collect in auray.
