About the Item
An unusual hand-forged church or cathedral candelabra made from an old partially modified large church key that functions as its base. The leaf-work and twists to the wrought iron resembling branches are very art nouveau in style. Whether or not this is period is difficult to say. But it sure has some age to it. It was bought and made in Italy in the early to mid 20th century. It is to be installed with 5 regular sized candles.
Significance of a large key: Historically, carrying a large key was a sign of status and control, representing authority over a household, a kingdom, or a spiritual domain. It can symbolize the power to rule or govern, as seen in the biblical "Key of David" which represents God's authority over his kingdom.
