W40xD60xH200mm, China
This is a pair of wooden candle stand that would have been mounted on a metal or wooden base, the candle would be fixed on top of the wooden stick. Traditional Chinese candles besides having a wick embedded, a small bamboo rod is also embedded on the bottom end. The bamboo rod made it easier for securing the candle, may it be on a candle stand, in the sand or simply in the ground. This pair of candle stand has a relief carving of the dragon, painted in red and gold, symbolizing blessings, they would have been used for happy occasions like grand birthdays, promotions, birth of a child, etc.
Interested in these Blessing Sticks? I have never been to this site before are these items for sale?
thanks for your interest in the item. yes the pair of old blessing sticks are for sale (HK$1,260, app.US$165) excluding shipping and packing. as the base of the item is missing, they are more for decoration than for the function as a candle stand.
How big are they?
