Primitive Yew Wood Candlestick c.1700An early example of a primitive Folk Art candlestick created from Yew wood. c. 1700 This evocative object would have been used on a daily basis in a home or tavern. It epitomises perfectly how a humble object from our past can now be viewed as a sublime work of art, and yet can also be used for the very purpose it was created for all of these hundreds of years later. With old nibbles, wear and repairs.
