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.
