AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stately, authentic candelabrum from the late 17th century. Made of bronze or yellow copper.
The candlestick features a characteristic wide octagonal base with subtle contour lines and an elegantly profiled stem.
A notable element is the casting gate in the stem, used during the manual casting process with a sand- or clay-mold. In addition, the underside of the base shows the completely intact original tin solder plug. The candle holder is equipped with a discharge hole, through which candle residues could be removed.
The candelabrum has developed a beautiful dark patina and natural wear from centuries of use.
The candelabrum is 17.5 cm high. The base is 10 cm wide/deep. Weight is about 460 g.
