AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A collectible piece of great charm. This imposing antique candlestick in patinated bronze or brass captures the eye with its turned design and carved details that enhance its timeless elegance.
The Enchantment of Time and Style
Precious Material: Made of brass or bronze, the candelabrum features a striking dark patina that testifies to its age and authenticity, giving it a unique and sought-after character.
Material: The object appears to be made of brass or bronze, characterized by a dark patina due to age and oxidation.
Design: The candelabrum features a turned design with bulbous sections and carved details, topped by a wide cup for wax and a central spike to hold a large candle (called a torciera).
Base: The base is circular and supported by three small feet that increase its stability and height.
Origin and Period: Italian antiques dating from the late 19th century
Distinctive Design: Characterized by bulbous sections and a wide wax cup with a central spike (ideal for large torchiere-style candles), its style evokes ecclesiastical sacred art and late 19th/early 20th-century luxury furnishings.
Stability and Details: The circular base, robust and expertly shaped, is supported by three feet that guarantee its stability and emphasize the vintage aesthetic.
A perfect piece of furniture to add a touch of history and refinement to any space, from classic to modern. Similar items are often unique pieces of Italian or French antiques, valued for their artisanal craftsmanship.
