Description from the seller

I would like to sell an asian bronze candle holder from my private collection. I was told that it is from Japan from the second part of the XIX. th century.
It is in a quite good condition compared to it's age. Some of it's elements are rotatable.The candle holder stands on 3 elephant heads, from which 2 elephants heads had 2 tusks missing, as you can see on the photos. It is rich in ornaments and details.
The combination of the ormanets present in this wonderful item is not a common design, it is something appart from the rest. I am sure that this bronze ornament would bring warmth and will be special in any room or interior in which it will be.
