About the Item

An extraordinary survivor of the Spanish Colonial era, this rare 18th-century candlestick radiates both history and refinement! Crafted in Peru circa 1750, it is cast in richly patinated brass and embellished with silver highlights, lending a striking interplay of warm and cool tones that shimmer with time-softened grandeur. The form is at once architectural and ornamental: a bold circular base encircled with a repeating foliate band supports an urn-shaped candle cup, delicately chased with floral motifs and flanked by elegant scrolled handles. Its compact scale belies its presence, yet the candlestick carries the unmistakable gravity of an object created for both devotion and display. Pieces of this caliber were often commissioned for domestic chapels or ecclesiastical use within the Spanish Viceroyalty, embodying a fusion of Baroque opulence and local craftsmanship. The refined detail and noble materiality mark this example as an exceptional rarity, making it a treasure for discerning collectors of Spanish Colonial art and decorative objects.
