Rare Antique Late 18th Early 19th Century Rat de Cave Iron Spiral Candlestick
Posted by admin On October 13, 2026
Late 18th, Early 19th Century. Made of Iron with a fruitwood base. In reality this dates to around 1770 and most likely made in France. Lovely patina and perfect to go with oak and country furniture. These type of candlesticks were used as a portable candlestick that could also be hooked onto an a beam in a barn for safety rather than risk falling over if simply stood on the floor or beam. Or used in mining, hence the origins of the name. The candle could be set low inside the spiral and ten screwed up as the candle burned down so as to reduce the risk of the candle falling out and causing a fire. Very simple but very clever invention. Height approx 18.5cm. Dia of base approx 9cm. Please be your judge on condition.

Rare Early Staffordshire Figure Chinese Gardener (Dudson Factory), c. 1830s
Posted by admin On October 11, 2026
A very rare and exquisite porcelain figure depicting a gardener (described as a’Chinese gardener’ in historic Dudson ledgers) with a spade and bunch of flowers, made by the Dudson Factory. This superb figure is exceptionally well decorated with vivid, saturated colours and striking gilt. The gardener holds a bunch of flowers made up of individually moulded, very fragile petals which can be found in other Dudson figures of this period. This fabulous and impressive figure is in very good repaired condition with professional, practically invisible repair to both elbows and tiny edges of loss to the petals. There is some failure of the glaze to the cobalt cloak, giving a pockmarked texture. Reference : Apparently unrecorded, but similar to examples found in: A. Morgan, Dudson Staffordshire Figures c.
