Antieke altaarkandelaar met de Heilige Familie – begin 20e eeuw - Candleholder - Brass - Ecclesiastical altar candlestick

Antique altar candlestick with the Holy Family – early 20th century

Turn this candlestick a notch and another face appears each time. The three sides of the base each bear a raised portrait, presumably Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Scrolls run along the corners to three claw feet and give the base its Baroque character.

Above rises a slender, fluted shaft with fine vertical grooves that catch the light. The broad dish was used to catch dripping candle wax; the altar candle was fixed to the long thorn. The warm gold-brown patina adds depth to the candlestick, especially around the portraits and in the shaft’s grooves.

Shipping
Shipping is only to destinations within the European Union and only via Catawiki Smart Shipping.

We do not ship to countries outside the European Union. Manual shipping outside the Smart Shipping procedure is not offered.

Shipping occurs only when Catawiki provides a regular Smart Shipping label for the buyer-specified delivery address within the normal EU shipping procedure.

If delivery to an address requires additional customs formalities, an EORI registration, tax registration, or any other additional seller registration and thus a regular EU Smart Shipping label cannot be created, the order cannot be processed outside Smart Shipping. In that case the order must be reviewed and handled by Catawiki.

The object is carefully and securely packed and shipped with tracking. Shipping costs also include packaging, packing materials, and handling of the shipment.

Pickup is only possible when the lot is valued at more than €50, by appointment only and during office hours.
