Description from the seller
Tall candlestick (floor-standing or altar candlestick), crafted in Baroque/Neoclassical style. It is a decorative piece that recalls 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 parts, there are leafy motifs (acanthus leaves) and bulbous sections.
The finish is in gold leaf, which shows a beautiful patina of age with some areas where the underlying core 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 19th century.
Additional support: The candlestick has been mounted on a circular base in solid walnut wood with stepped levels. This is often a subsequent modification to provide greater stability or to adapt it as a modern furniture piece.
Top: Ends with a wax-catcher plate and a central metal point (nail), intended to fix large wax candles.
Dimensions
Total height: About 74 cm (excluding the central metal point).
Diameter of the wooden base: 24 cm.
