Vintage Pair Drumgold Solid Copper Taper Candle Holders Tricorn Chamberstick 1940s
Available for purchase is a beautiful, matching pair of vintage solid copper taper candle holders crafted by the renowned American artisan studio Drumgold.
These chambersticks feature a striking mid-century tricorn (three-cornered) base design paired with a functional, integrated finger-loop ring handle, heavily inspired by the American Arts and Crafts revival movement.
Maker History:
* Artisan: Crafted by Drumgold Copper Arts, a studio founded by Leland Joseph Drumgold (1897–1953), a former railroad tinsmith and industrial arts educator turned master metal craftsman.
* Origin & Era: This specific block-stamped hallmark dates these pieces directly to the 1940s or early 1950s, produced out of the Drumgold workshop located in Oakland, California.
* Construction: Made of heavy-gauge, hand-wrought solid copper. The top socket cup and tricorn base are solidly joined by a central rivet, showcasing the classic, durable craftsmanship of the era.
Condition:
The candle holders are in excellent vintage condition with no major dents or damage. They retain a rich, authentic aged patina and show minor, expected signs of use and light wax residue consistent with age. They can be left as-is for a warm, rustic look, or polished up to a bright, reflective copper shine depending on your preference.
Please review all photographs closely to evaluate the visual details and condition for yourself.
