About the Item

Add a touch of timeless elegance to your interiors with this superb 18th century Italian pricket candlestick, finely hand-carved in wood and finished with its original gilding. Originating from Italy circa 1760, this exquisite piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the period, blending neoclassical influences with baroque exuberance. The tall, slender form is adorned with intricate carved motifs — stylized acanthus leaves, shells, and diamond patterns — meticulously highlighted by the rich gold leaf finish. The tri-form base, resting on three ball feet, provides both stability and sculptural beauty. A charming detail is the visible red bole beneath the gilded surface, a hallmark of genuine 18th-century Italian giltwood craftsmanship. The original pricket — unusually made entirely of solid wood rather than metal — remains intact, designed to hold a large ceremonial candle. This rare feature underlines the artisanal character and ecclesiastical origins of the piece. Its warm, timeworn patina, along with minor wear and touch-ups consistent with age, only enhances its authentic beauty. Whether displayed in a grand salon, an opulent entryway, or as part of a curated vignette alongside mirrors, consoles, and richly upholstered seating, this rare giltwood pricket candlestick infuses any space with historic grandeur.
