Art Nouveau three-flame candelabrum made of spelter, dating to circa 1960–1970, Italian origin, 38 cm high and wide with a 13.5 cm depth, weighing 1422 g, in good used condition with minor signs of age and stains; one removable inner candlestick holder is missing.
Description from the seller
Splendid three-flame candelabrum in Art Nouveau style, characterized by a refined organic design with great decorative impact.
The piece stands out for the richness of its naturalistic details: the central structure and the sinuous arms evoke flexible branches, while the three candle-baskets are skillfully modeled in the shape of rose buds, resting on orders of finely-veined leaves.
The circular base, decorated with vegetal motifs and relief swirls coherent with the floral aesthetic, guarantees excellent stability and features a protective fabric lining on the bottom.
From a structural point of view, the item is fully dismountable; the internal base fixing system features components in plastic material, a technical detail that highlights its distinctive construction. Made in a heavy metal alloy (presumably pewter or darkened metal), the candelabrum boasts a splendid dark, original, uniform patina that enhances its three-dimensionality and the details of the cut patterns. The inner buds are removable to facilitate wax cleaning; however, note that one of the three removable inner buds is missing. The candelabrum presents, otherwise, vintage-use condition, very good, solid and structurally intact, with minimal and normal signs of aging that testify to its decorative charm. An attractive and elegant furnishing piece, ideal for enriching classic interiors or collections of floral-themed objects.
