Description from the seller
Handmade wrought iron wall candle holders, presumably dating from the seventeenth or early eighteenth century. These so-called "bougeoirs à coulisse" — sliding candle holders — are equipped with a sliding mechanism that allows the candle holder to be adjusted in height along the central spindle. This functional detail testifies to a high level of wrought-iron craftsmanship and was characteristic of affluent households and church interiors of this period. The two pieces exhibit the typical hand-forged character — lightly asymmetrical.
The deep red-brown oxidation patina is completely untreated and authentic. No restoration, no paint — purely original wrought iron as it has been shaped through the centuries.
Material: Hand-forged iron
Height: 55 cm per piece
Period: 17th–18th century, European
Condition: Good — authentic patina, no fractures
Quantity: Set of 2
