About the Item
Pair of 19th-Century Italian Giltwood Altar Prickets
A striking pair of 19th-century Italian ecclesiastical altar prickets, finely carved in wood and richly finished in original gilt. These tall, architectural pieces were originally crafted for liturgical use, likely in a chapel or provincial church, and now offer a commanding decorative presence for refined interiors.
Each pricket rests upon a solid triform base raised on bun feet, adorned with stylized rosettes and bordered by carved arcatures. The shaft features a classical baluster form with lotus leaf carvings, leading to an exuberant corona of acanthus leaves beneath the candle cup. The warm, aged patina reveals traces of bole red beneath the gilding, accentuating their antique character and hand-carved nature.
Though sculpturally robust, the prickets retain an elegant verticality, making them ideal for flanking a console, anchoring a mantelpiece, or standing as statement objects on their own. Their visual language speaks of both sacred function and baroque exuberance.
Minor losses and wear consistent with age, adding to their authenticity and charm. A rare opportunity to acquire a true pair of devotional objects that bridge sacred art and grand decoration.
