About the Item
An Italian Antique 17th Century "Mecca" gilding Wood Hand carved Bear "Orso" Candelabra on Renaissance base.
The base and the bear are gilded with Mecca, a silver gilt technique that want to simulate the gold.
The details of the carving, especially on the fur and the face of the bear are incredible. The base is a wonderful example of Renaissance motifs with a central "Mascherone" face, Acanthus leaves and curl wood cartouches. The bear is clutching the zoomorphic serpent shape candlestick holder.
This candelabra was covered with a thick layer of plaster, painted in red and transformed in to a lamp base in the early 20th Century as you can see on the two last pictures.
It has been professionally restored to the original conditions.
