Pair of 19th-Century Italian Gilt Wood Candlesticks w/ Prickets

About the Item

A 19th-century pair of Italian giltwood candlesticks with prickets and a beautifully carved acanthus leaf design throughout is a testament to the opulent and detailed craftsmanship of the period. Giltwood refers to wood that has been gilded-covered in a thin layer of gold leaf over gesso, enhancing the candlesticks with a rich, luminous finish that highlights the intricate carvings. The acanthus leaf, a motif derived from classical antiquity and frequently used in decorative arts and architecture, symbolizes enduring llife and immortality. Its inclusion in the design of these candlesticks adds a layer of ornamental depth and classical beauty, making them standout pieces in any setting.
