AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Extraordinary pair of antique 19th-century candlesticks, probably intended for ecclesiastical altar decoration.
The candlesticks are 65 cm tall and both come with their bronze-gilt trays for catching wax in case candles are used.
The candlesticks obviously bear signs of antiquity, of times past, with old woodworm holes treated, restorations and touch-ups.
Also on the underside there are two very curious hidden compartments with copper leaf closures, as in the photograph.
Someone in past centuries used them as hidden caches.
The gilding is warm and ancient.
The patina of time is visible on both candlesticks.
The feet, No. 6, by Leonini, are also proof of the authenticity and antiquity of the pieces.
These candlesticks are perfect for a classical and prestigious decor in mansions or residences.
They are marvelous in person.
They have also been prepared for electrification.
Observe all the photographs, integral part of this description, including the bronze trays.
