Title
Pricket Candlestick
Description
English: The base of this pricket candlestick bears the combined arms of Bernard VIII (d. 1339), count of Comminges, and those of his second wife, Marguerite de Turenne, alternating with the fleur de lys, the heraldic emblem of the royal house of France. Although such personal items were often commissioned as gifts to commemorate special events, coats of arms did not necessarily refer to a specific patron but were part of workshops' decorative repertoire.
