About the Item

Pair of Mid-19th Century Baroque Revival Carved Wooden Candlesticks – Traces of Original Polychrome An evocative and sculptural pair of tall altar candlesticks, hand-carved in wood and dating from the mid-19th century. Likely originating from southern Europe — possibly Italy, Spain, or colonial Latin America — these pieces embody the dramatic flourish of the Baroque Revival style, marked by their generous proportions and ornamental detailing. Each candlestick features a tulip-form cup, acanthus-inspired collars, and a tapered column rising from a molded and stepped base with relief-carved floral motifs. The original polychrome surface has been naturally worn by time, revealing a noble and authentic patina that speaks to their liturgical past. Despite their age, they remain structurally sound, exuding presence and character. Whether preserved in their raw state, restored, or creatively repurposed into table lamps, these relics add gravitas to any space — from sacred interiors to highly curated, design-forward environments.

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 distressed finish brings character and a sense of history, making them perfect for collectors or those looking to elevate a traditional or eclectic interior.
