Candlestick - Gold leaf

Splendid, large and ancient Baroque altar candlestick in wood, finely hand-carved and silver-plated with gold leaf finishes.
A precious baluster shaft richly decorated with mouldings and acanthus leaves, resting on a tripod support moved by scrolls and a turned circular base.
Refined eighteenth-century artisanal craftsmanship of rare quality and Italian elegance.
Some slight and normal signs of wear visible in the photos.
Very charming and in good condition.
