Chamberstick - Wood - tall-stem candlestick

tall floor or altar candlestick, 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:

At the upper and central parts, foliate motifs (acanthus leaves) and bulbous sections are visible.

The finish is in gilt gold (or gold leaf), which shows a beautiful patina of age with some areas where the underlying bole 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 steps. This is often a later intervention to provide greater stability to the object or to adapt it as a modern piece of furniture.

Summit: It ends with a wax-catching plate and a central metal point (nail), intended to fix large wax candles.

Dimensions
Total height: Approximately 74 cm (excluding the metal point).

Diameter of the wooden base: 24 cm.
