Portacandela - .833 argento

A beautifully crafted Portugal silver chamberstick (palmatoria) featuring an elegant and imaginative design. The stem of the candle holder is formed by a mythical creature, part horse and part serpent, intricately shaped with scrolling lines and delicate engraved details. Its tail curves gracefully to form a handle, creating both artistic flair and practical functionality.

The chamberstick stands on a circular base with a scalloped decorative element supporting the creature. The candle holder itself is traditional in form, completing the piece with classic refinement.
