This wooden candle holder has a definite nautical feel to it. It may be a make-do candle holder or intentionally made in that style. I am dating it to the 1650-1720 period. It is American and from coastal New England. The best candle spike with bayonet type rolled edge socket and clean-out hole. The wooden base has 4 hand cut slots that go through. Their function is unknown and may purely be representative of something of the sea as it has the appearance of a marker buoy. 10 1/2” tall with a 4 3/8” x 5” tall base. Early forged nails secure stable cracks. Untouched natural surface with a great patina.
