Vintage Ottaviani Silver-Plated Tulip Candle Holder – 32 cm Tall Sculptural Italian Masterpiece, 451 g Heavy: Imagine a single, elegant tulip captured forever in shimmering silver – blooming eternally on your table, ready to cradle a flickering candle flame. This lovely vintage Ottaviani candle holder is pure Italian poetry in metal: a graceful, organically curved stem with hammered texture that dances with light, topped by a delicate open tulip cup, rising from a wide petal-inspired base. Ottaviani (founded 1945 in Recanati, Italy) is synonymous with timeless elegance in silverware and decorative arts. Impressive dimensions: 11 × 11 × 32 cm (tall, dramatic presence – perfect as a centerpiece or mantel statement) Substantial weight: 451 g – solid, heavy quality construction with thick silver plating Authentic mark: Clear "Ottaviani" script stamp on the base (see detailed close-up photos) Sculptural tulip design: Fluid, nature-inspired lines with textured stem for added depth and sophistication – far more artistic than standard candlesticks Condition: Very good vintage – bright, reflective silver plating A true gem for lovers of Italian vintage silverware, floral decor, mid-century modern, or Art Nouveau-inspired elegance. Ideal as a romantic gift, wedding accent, or collector's treasure. Ottaviani's floral motifs are sought-after, and this tall, heavy single-stem version feels like a rare find – much more sculptural than the brand's common crystal tulip models.
