Candlestick - Gold leaf, Polychrome wood

Splendid and ancient Baroque altar candlestick in polychrome wood, hand-carved and with finishes clad in gold leaf.
Fine carved shaft with foliate and geometric decorations.
A refined and rare example of eighteenth-century artisanal craftsmanship of great quality and Italian elegance.
Some light and normal signs of aging visible in the photos.
Very fascinating and in good condition.
