Antique 1700's Hand Forged Wrought Iron Adjustable Rush and Candle Light

Antique 1700's Hand Forged Wrought Iron Horizontal and Vertical Adjustable Rush and Candle Light The horizontal bar was most likely mounted over a fireplace opening or on a wall providing the option to slide the light horizontally and vertically to accommodate where the light was needed most. The top bar measures 33 and has bends at either end with a point on them. On one end the point is about 3/8 shorter from breaking off from use. These pointed ends were used to mount the bar by hammering it into the wall.

The total length is 36. Very interesting piece in very good condition. The horizontal and vertical bars have a few minor wiggles. Blacksmiths were creative engineers and craftsman! This is a wonderful piece of Americana. The item "Antique 1700's Hand Forged Wrought Iron Adjustable Rush and Candle Light" is in sale since Wednesday, November 4, 2020.
