This is a wonderful Pilgrim period Betty lamp stand with a wooden log base and forged iron arm. There are large rosehead iron spikes in the base probably to add weight for stability. Amazingly it has the original iron counterweight held on by a string on a rosehead spike in the side of the log. The lamp stand is 12 3/4” to the top of the arm and the arm extends 8 1/2” out. The wooden base is 5 1/4” tall x 3 3/4” diameter. It has a great patina and natural, untouched surface. This Betty lamp stand dates to c.1700-1750. Ex. Robert Thayer collection, CT. Betty lamp and snuffer not included. Price: sold
