AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large antique wood candlestick from the 20th century origin (Seventeenth/Eighteenth century) Central Italy Tuscany FLORENCE
Subsequently electrified and transformed into a refined table or floor lamp
Specifically, it is a carved and gilded Mecca-style wooden candlestick featuring a baluster shaft richly worked and resting on a typical tripod base with scroll feet and volutes
Above the original structure an electrical assembly was installed, topped by a fan or parchment-shaped lampshade
Type of object originally for sacred altar furnishing as candlesticks
Note well its provenance from the Florence, Tuscany area, devotion to the tradition of antique objects and craftsmanship that have roots in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance when the Guild of the Arts defined the economic and cultural identity of the city
Subject from my private collection as a collector and researcher of antique regional artifacts from an ancient cultural family
