Description from the seller
Pair of antique torchères in gilded, carved wood.
An important pair of Italian torchères, carved and gilded wood, dating from the late 16th / early 17th century. The shafts are entirely hand-carved with rich phytomorphic motifs and vertical foliate scrolls, typical of late Renaissance decoration, with evident traces of the original gilding still legible. The structure is slender, with a turned circular base that provides stability and a shaped upper terminal for housing the candle. The workmanship is deep and plastic, with carved details of notable artisanal quality, which give the torchères a strong scenographic and decorative impact. Objects of great rarity and charm, ideal for historic interiors, important collections, or as display pieces of formal furnishings.

Height: 100cm
Width: 18cm
Depth: 18 cm
