Candlestick - Gilt bronze

An antique gilt bronze candlestick from Italy, dating to the late 19th century (circa 1850–1900). The piece is made of gilt bronze and set on a black ebonized wooden base.

The candlestick features a slender, fluted shaft rising from a decorated base with classical motifs. The design shows restrained detailing typical of 19th-century European decorative arts, combining both functional and decorative elements. The contrast between the warm gilt bronze and the dark wooden base gives the piece a balanced and traditional appearance.

The base is circular and stepped, with carved detailing, while the upper section supports a simple candle holder with a slightly flared rim.

The candlestick is in good condition for its age, with minor signs of wear such as light surface marks, small areas of patina, and age-related wear to the base. No major damage is observed.
