Antique Brass Queen Anne Candlestick 9 Inches Pre 1800 Seamed 15.8 oz

Description

I believe this to be a Queen Anne Candlestick.  There is a long piece of metal in the bottom I am not sure if it is to push the candle up or not.   The base looks to be lathe turned. There is a seam on the candlestick. The base is loose from the bottom it appears to me there was a solder joint that is broken.  The top drip area has a couple of cracks in it.
Height is 9 Inches
