## Title John Marshall Candle Holder

## Subtitle Solid hand-cast brass, modeled after a Federal-period original. Twelve inches tall on a 4.5-inch square base. Made by Jefferson Brass in Virginia since 1979.

## Description Almost every brass candlestick in the 25-to-250-dollar tier is brass-plated zinc or aluminum, hollowed for cost, sprayed with a brass-look finish that wears off in a year. They feel light in the hand. They scratch to silver. They are not, in any meaningful sense, brass.

Jefferson Brass casts in solid brass — not plate, not look. The John Marshall is a 12-inch candlestick on a 4.5-inch square base, modeled after a Federal-period original from the early American republic, and the heft is part of the design. It sits where you put it. The taper does not move when the cat brushes past. Fifty years from now it will be patinaed and look better than it does today.

Family-owned in Virginia since 1979. Made the way the original was made.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. A candlestick is the object that holds the warmth steady. A patient buys it once; it holds the tapers for the rest of their life and outlives them.
