18th Century Italian Mecca Candlestick with Phantom Quartz & Chalcedony Rosettes

About the Item

18th century Italian mecca gold leaf candlestick with a red phantom crystal quartz point encased in Italian antique metal petal drip pan tray. The candlestick is decorated with chalcedony rosettes which are crystallized flower formations that are formed under the earth. The candlestick sits on a matrix encrusted with chalcedony rosettes on a coordinating distressed black marble base. The 18th century Italian candlestick is originally from a church in Coreglia Ligure. Interi works to both preserve and transform Italian ecclesiastical antiquities. The mecca candlestick, red phantom quartz crystal point, chalcedony rosettes, and black marble base are put together in an antique yet modern sculptural form. Interpreting the past to create a piece entirely original, evolving in its own right.

  • 18th Century Italian 'Florence Fragment' with a Chalcedony Rosette
    By Interi
    Located in Dublin, Dalkey
    17th century Italian fragment with a chalcedony rosette. It has antique hand-written Italian inscriptions on the base. The chalcedony mineral mimics the color and texture of the distressed wood fragment. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic Florence Flood of 1966. This was one of the worst floods recorded since the Renaissance and drew thousands of volunteers from all over the world to help save the city known for its precious history, artwork, artifacts, and rare books. The volunteers were called "the mud angels" because of the mud and silt left everything from the damage of the flood. There is still the original paint and silt left on the piece to uphold the integrity, craftmanship, and history of sculptural fragment. The story and history of this piece and Interi's collection of Florence fragments...
