Antique Brass Gimbal Chamberstick or Wall Sconce
£125.00Price
A Gimbal was originally used on ships, where it could be hung on a wall or used on a tabletop. As the ship swayed, the hinged weighted candleholder also swayed with the motion - ensuring that the candle stayed upright! A genius design.
This would make a lovely candle holder for either a table or as a wall sconce. In an excellent antique condition and good working order.
