Wrought iron
England; c. 1650-1700
One of three chandelier rods from St Michael's Church, Queenhythe, London (demolished 1876), all of which can be seen nearby. All three incorporate the same features: twisted square rods, corkscrew tendrils running up the inside of long scrolled leaves and large roses made from overlapping circular plates with scalloped edges. The flat leaves and flowers are particularly characteristic of the 17th century and were painted to make them appear more realistic.
