About the Item

Antique Italian Altar Hand-Carved Giltwood Candlestick This decorative Italian altar candlestick, dating from the late 17th to early 18th century, is a remarkable piece of history. Hand-carved in wood and adorned with gesso and gilding, it would have originally graced a Palazzo or church altar. The candlestick features a classical design with a metalwork drip pan, standing on triform curved scrolled feet. It boasts an impressive scale and faded grandeur, with the gilt and gesso showing signs of wear over time. The natural woodworm holes are historic and have been treated. Residual traces of paint and gilding enhance its charm, making it not just a functional item, but a piece of art. This perfectly patinated candlestick exudes rustic romance and is an ideal addition to any collection or interior décor. Condition Report This antique Italian altar candlestick is in good condition, with some loss of gilt and gesso. It shows historic woodworm holes that have been treated, adding to its authentic aged charm.
