AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare Gothic period torch. Circa 1500, probably of Nuremberg or Flanders origin. Its shaft features two elongated opposing balusters, accompanied by two low rings and one high ring. The socket is conical and has two rectangular indentations (typical for that period). The basin-shaped base with a knop still retains its entire oblique plinth, which adds to the interest and authenticity of this candlestick. Overall excellent condition, no restorations, and a beautiful homogeneous patina. Notably, there is a very small tear in the hollow of the base >See photos for details.
Private collection from the Haute Époque.
Approximate dimensions: height 18 cm x diameter 12.4 cm. Weight: 433.5 g (0.95 pounds).
Carefully packaged, fast shipping with insurance via Colissimo. (No shipping to the US currently, thank you for your understanding).
