About the Item
Pair of 19th-Century Italian Polychrome and Parcel-Gilt Altar Prickets
A graceful pair of 19th-century Italian altar prickets, hand-carved in wood with their original polychrome and parcel-gilt finish, exuding the quiet elegance of provincial ecclesiastical art. These devotional objects were likely crafted for use in a side chapel or oratory and remain richly evocative of their sacred past.
Resting on triform bases with small bun feet, the prickets feature gently waisted pedestals adorned with stylized floral motifs. Each column rises in a slender baluster form, encircled by hand-carved lotus leaves and crowned by oversized foliate drip pans and cup-form nozzles. The surface bears its original cream-colored paint and muted gilding, now charmingly worn and cracked, testifying to age, devotion, and time.
The presence of these pieces is architectural yet restrained, their soft tones and patina making them highly versatile for both antique-inspired and contemporary interiors. They would lend serenity and history to a console table, altar-style vignette, or curated wall niche.
Condition consistent with age and devotional use, including losses to the paint and minor structural cracks, which only enhance their authenticity. An exquisite example of humble sacred craftsmanship meeting timeless decorative taste.

A magnificent pair of Spanish Colonial Revival TORCHÈRES CANDLEHOLDERS 1940's
Located in Rio De Janeiro, BR
A magnificent pair of Spanish Colonial Revival torcheres /candle holders, circa 1940, expertly crafted in painted wood with original lanterns fashioned from painted tin. These exquisite pieces stand tall and regal, showcasing the timeless grandeur of early 20th-century design. Their stunning hand-painted detailing, with rich tones of deep red and earthy brown, evokes the elegance of a bygone era. The intricate carving work on the wooden bases features flowing, ornate scrolls and baroque-inspired flourishes, adding a touch of dramatic flair to any space.
The matching lanterns perched atop each torch are equally detailed, designed with graceful curves and crowned with decorative finials. Their distressed finish brings character and a sense of history, making them perfect for collectors or those looking to elevate a traditional or eclectic interior. Standing impressively in height, these pieces would be stunning additions to an entryway, flanking a grand fireplace, or used as statement decor in a formal living or dining room.
Each torch has a sturdy, ornate base, ensuring stability and presence in any room. Given their age, the wear to the paint is consistent with their vintage status, further enhancing their authentic charm. These torches beautifully capture the essence of Spanish Colonial Revival style, blending rich cultural heritage with classic design.
Rare pair of decorative pieces.
