Antique Wrought Iron Torchere from Italy, 18th Century
About the Item
This stately 18th century torchere from Italy has a pyramid shape at the top which has been hand-hammered and is removable (see photos). It holds seven prickets and two candleholders. Interspersed between the prickets and holders are fleur-de-lis iron motifs. Its center post ends on tripod legs and feet with two out turned shapes each. Large nailheads are at the knees of the shaped legs. The fleur-de-lis has long been associated with France, but it has also been the emblem of Florence Italy since the 11th century.
Torcheres were used for centuries to light rooms with candlelight. This one from the 1700s will be an asset to any room.

The visible strike marks made by the blacksmith, along with the flattened pin that affixes the highly scrolled arms add subtle nuances to the 21-inch tall candlesticks. At the end of each arm is a torch-like light sconce with a banded noix at the bottom, topped by a flat bobeche with a thin rim and a folded cylindrical capital. Rising a few inches above is a third light source with an identical bobeche and capital that extends from the central column. The three-light spread is supported by tripod bases featuring sinuous legs that have been embellished by roundels set within thin fluting. Our pair of Spanish torchere...Category
