CANDLESTICKS— THE JARVIE SHOP 
CANDLESTICKS OLD AND NEW 
THE candlesticks of our forefathers find their homes to- 
day in pleasant places. Many of them are worthy of 
the veneration shown them. Take for instance, Figure 3. 
The tallest candlestick is old English probably about the 
end of the 17th century. The other one is also old English. 
In Fig. I and 2 are specimens of Italian, French, old 
American, and the two small ones are probably Russian. 
Each one is characteristic of its period and has great charm 
and beauty. 
The new candlesticks illustrated were made by Mr. 
Robert Jarvie, who has lately learned for him.self the sobri- 
quet of "The Candlestick Maker." Some years ago Mr. 
Jarvie became interested in the making of a lantern, which 
after some difficulty in obtaining material, he finished. 
The work of this one lantern appealed to him so strongly 
that he very soon made himself a master of the subject of 
interior illumination. The making of a candlestick suc- 
ceeded that of the lantern and in the following illustrations 
we give a few of his characteristic productions.
