Three‑branch candelabrum (Trikirion) in gilded brass, circa 1900, in Empire/Eclectic style.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and elegant three-flame candelabrum (trikirion) from the late 19th century, entirely handmade, crafted in gilt brass. This extraordinary object of art stands out for its central shaft finely chased in baluster and for the side arms enriched with refined geometric motifs and pierced volutes.

The candelabrum rests gracefully on a circular brass tray coordinated with a distinctive festooned wavy edge, which collects the wax and provides stability and importance to the whole structure.

Although born as a ceremonial piece of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, this object today presents itself as a magnificent interior decor element for high-class interiors, historic homes, and old houses. The splendid golden patina reflects the light in a warm and evocative way, making it a perfect centerpiece or a parade piece on an antique console.

Era: Late 19th Century (c. 1880-1900)
Material: Solid gilt brass
Style: Eclectic / Empire / Traditional
Good condition, as visible in the detailed photos. It bears a splendid patina of time that attests to its authenticity and age. Solid and stable construction.
A rare piece with great visual impact, ideal for antique collectors and lovers of historic interior design.

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
