Description from the seller

Grand freestanding cast-iron candelabrum – Neo-Classical / Victorian style – Height 110 cm
Magnificent free-standing torchère / chandelier in solid cast iron, with a very impressive presence and a large footprint (about 1.10 m tall).
This superb candlestick is distinguished by its rich and refined ornamentation: fluted column shaft carved with floral motifs, scrolls and acanthus, stable tripod base elegantly curved, and above all a magnificent mascaron (carved female head) inspired by classical/caryatid design that adds exceptional architectural character.
Details:
• Total height: 110 cm
• Material: Heavy cast iron of fine quality
• Crowned four-branch candle holder, suitable for large cylindrical candles (diameter about 7-8 cm)
• Style: Neo-Classical / Victorian / Gothic Revival (late 19th – early 20th century or a very fine period reproduction)
• Condition: Good overall condition, nice patina from use, some normal signs for an object of this age and weight (see photos)
An imposing decorative object full of character that will illuminate a rustic interior, loft, country house, or add a dramatic touch to a living room or fireplace. Perfect for lovers of antique cast-iron furniture, of Baroque or Victorian style.
