Early 20th-century Italian gilded wood and mirror candlestick with two candle arms, external dimensions 60 cm high by 38 cm wide by 17 cm deep (internal 42 by 29 cm), in good condition with minor signs of age and spots.
Description from the seller
An enchanting Italian candleholder mirror dating from the second half of the 19th century, a refined example of decorative art and craftsmanship of the period.
The rich gilded wood structure features an elegant sequence of scrolls, botanical motifs and ornamental carvings, culminating in the imposing upper pediment. The surface preserves a splendid antique patina, with natural color variations and traces of time that attest to its authenticity and enhance its charm.
Particularly evocative are the two candle arms located at the lower part. Originally, objects of this kind were used in corridors and rooms of noble houses to reflect and amplify candlelight, creating a warm and enveloping atmosphere.
Today it represents a piece of furnishings with great character, able to embellish an entrance, a living room, a bedroom or a refined eclectic environment. Its scenographic presence and balanced dimensions also make it ideal as a decorative lighting focal point.
