AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tall candlestick (floor-standing or altar-mounted), made in Baroque/Neoclassical style. It is a decorative piece that evokes liturgical tradition, probably originally used in a religious setting or in a noble residence.
The candlestick features a slender, turned shaft with several decorative elements:
In the upper and central portions there are foliate motifs (acanthus leaves) and bulbous sections.
The finish is vermeil gold (or gold leaf), which has a beautiful patina of age with some areas where the underlying material shows through, giving the object an antique and authentic appearance.
Base: The original base of the candlestick is a tripod with scroll feet (volutes), typical of the nineteenth century.
Additional support: The candlestick has been mounted on a circular base in solid walnut wood with stepped levels. This is often a later modification to provide greater stability to the object or to adapt it as a piece of modern furniture.
Top: Finish with a wax-collecting plate (disc) and a central metal spike (nail), designed to secure large wax candles.
Dimensions
Total height: About 74 cm (excluding the metal tip).
Diameter of the wooden base: 24 cm.
