Chamberstick - Wood - tall-stem candlestick

Tall candlestick on a shaft (floor or altar), crafted in Baroque/Neoclassical style. This 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:

At the upper and central parts you can see motifs of foliage (acanthus leaves) and bulbous sections.

The finish is in solid gold gilt (or gold leaf), which shows a beautiful patina of age with some areas where the underlying bole shows through, giving the object an ancient and authentic appearance.

Base: The original base of the candlestick is a three-legged tripod with scroll feet (volutes), typical of the nineteenth century.

Additional support: The candlestick has been mounted on a circular base of solid walnut wood with stepped levels. This is often a later intervention to provide greater stability to the object or to adapt it as a modern furniture piece.

Summit: It finishes with a wax-catching dish 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.
