Antique-Style Brass Counterbalanced Candleholder with Integrated Swinging Snuffer

This beautifully crafted brass counterbalanced candleholder presents a striking blend of functional engineering and elegant vintage design. The piece features a distinctive pivoting arm construction, giving it the appearance of a miniature balancing apparatus or early mechanical instrument. At the center sits a tall, teardrop-shaped brass backplate with cutout detailing, forming both the structural core and a decorative element that catches the light with warm, reflective tones.

Extending horizontally across the front is a slender brass rod finished with a grip-like handle on one side and a classic conical snuffer on the other, suspended gracefully by a small joint. The candle cup itself sits securely in the center, elevated above a curved drip tray that not only protects surfaces from wax but also enhances the sculptural form of the piece. The interplay of curves, angles, and equilibrium gives this candleholder an undeniably artistic presence.

Its naturally aged patina, soft surface wear, and time-worn coloration add authenticity and charm, making it ideal for collectors of vintage brassware, historical lighting, or unique functional décor. Whether used as intended or displayed purely as a decorative object, this candleholder brings a sense of warmth, history, and craftsmanship to any room. Perfect for mantelpieces, writing desks, bookshelves, or atmospheric interior styling.
