[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 491985, member: 2844"]Much earlier, at least 19th century. Fid means monasteries and convents btw, in cloisters they would be too exposed to the elements. It is a classic West and Central European church candlestick, just like the Dutch ones you showed in another thread. By the 1950s these were already being thrown out as old rubbish. No respect for history. In the 60s they were bought cheaply from junkyards by Hippies. They looked very nice in eclectic Hippie style interiors. This is a very nice one.[/QUOTE]
