AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorative candle holder with a circular domed foot, long fusiform stem, and flared bobeche. Rich decoration of scrolls, foliage, and raised vegetal motifs, combined with finely chiseled friezes. The base bears a recessed seal: “SILVER” inscribed in an oval. The base and the stem react to the red touchstone test (see photos 29 & 30), indicating a silver content of 925 parts per thousand (900‰ to be prudent). The bobeche and the candle holder do not react clearly to the touchstone in a quantity sufficient to be described as “solid silver.” These parts are therefore considered to be silver-plated metal. India, mid-20th century.
Good overall condition, age and use wear, patina darkened in places (notably in the reliefs), some stains and marks, light scratches and micro-scratches. Photos are part of the description.
Max dimensions:
- Height: 17.3 cm
- Base diameter: 9 cm
- Bobeche diameter: 6 cm
- Candle holder diameter: 4.5 cm.
Insured for transport, securely packed. Delivery by Mondial Relay to the following countries: France, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg.
Delivery via Colissimo for the rest of Europe and the world.
