This highly prized design of candlestick, based on the Arts & Crafts style, was made by James Dixon in 1916. The round bases and stems taper upwards to a flared drip pan and tulip shaped sconce above. The borders are stamped with the rivet effect detail for which Dixon's candlesticks are known.
The Arts & Crafts movement emerged from a disenchantment with the impersonal, mechanised direction of society in the 19th century, and sought to return to a simpler, more fulfilling way of living. The movement was admired for its use of high quality materials and for its emphasis on utility in design.
