AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian wooden carved, gilt and painted candlestick – 19th century
The object presents a slender baluster shaft, articulated by turned knobs and carved decorations. Particularly characteristic are the lanceolate leaf elements and beaded motifs highlighted by gilding, alternated with surfaces painted in a delicate light green-gray tone.
The bottom part features a tripartite base with an architectural setting, frontally decorated by a raised gilded rosette and ending with three carved feet in a zoomorphic style.
The combination of a turned stem, vegetal motifs, tripartite base and carved feet belongs to the Italian tradition of large decorative and ecclesiastical candlesticks. Auction comparisons show the persistence of this typology during the 19th century;
The surface preserves a very decorative patina, with gilding and polychromy worn irregularly by time, exposing at various points the preparatory layers and the underlying wood.
Characteristics
* Original object: large candlestick/torchiere
* Likely origin: Italy
* Estimated period: 19th century, probably second half
* Style: neoclassical/historicist
* Material: turned and carved wood
* Finish: polychromy and gilding
* Base: tripode with carved feet
* Decoration: vegetal elements, beading and raised rosette
* Overall height: 77.5 cm
* Base: about 20 × 20 cm
* Weight: about 1.210 kg
* Shade holder: not present
19th-century Italian types with a baluster stem, vegetal elements and tripod bases are documented on the antique market and in auctions.
Conditions:
The object presents conditions consistent with its age and a long history of use.
There is widespread wear to the polychromy and gilding, abrasions, scratches, craquelure, small losses of the preparatory layer and areas where the underlying wood is visible.
Particularly evident are losses and material detachments at the feet of the base, documented in the photographs. Cracks and old signs of intervention/realignment are also observed in some elements of the shaft.
The antique patina has been preserved and contributes to the character of the object.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and document in detail the state of conservation.
Shipping:
Careful and professional packaging, with protections adequate for the wooden structure, the carved parts and the most delicate gilding areas.
