AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of Empire period church candlesticks, dating between 1815 and 1825, gilded using meccatura.

The condition is good: as was customary at the time, the gilding is only on the front, while the back remains unfinished because it was intended to be hung on a wall. The candle holders are original. The structure is stable, unbroken, with normal signs of age and inactive woodworm holes, which have already been treated.

Fascinating signs of hand chiselling are visible under the base.

Seller's Story

I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was. When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business. The key principles are quality and love towards the customer. Francesco Secondo
