DESCRIPTION
Possibly English or French? Unique. Appears to relate to what Michaelis calls flat discoid base (Figure 37). He dates 15th century. Here the base is even wider and fancier with scalloped or pedal edges. Massive, heavy. Sticks such as this one were intended for important people, nobility or clergy. Superb and rare mid Renaissance lighting device.
ex prominent PA collection.

CONDITION
Threaded plinth was neatly fixed with lead. Old work cleanly executed. You wont look this good when you are 550 years old. See Photos.
