Authentic antique French enameled cast iron hand chamberstick made by H. Scellier & Cie of Voujaucourt, Doubs, France.

This decorative portable candlestick features an ornate foliate drip tray with sculpted leaf and scroll decoration, a raised candle socket, and an elongated integral carrying handle terminating in a decorative scalloped motif. The design has a strong French Rococo Revival / Louis XV Revival influence.

The underside retains the oval manufacturer's mark identifying H. Scellier & Cie, Voujaucourt, Doubs, providing an excellent attribution to the historic French foundry.

H. Scellier & Cie was a French cast-metal manufacturer known for producing decorative cast-iron wares, including candleholders, lamps, and enameled iron objects. Based on the maker, construction, and style, this chamberstick dates to approximately the late 19th to early 20th century, circa 1880–1920.

A particularly attractive piece for collectors of antique French cast iron, chambersticks, candleholders, architectural-style metalwork, or European decorative antiques.
