About the Item

Delicate yet striking, this rare pair of 19th-century Italian candlesticks is crafted in intricately carved and perforated wood, offering a glimpse into regional folk craftsmanship at its most poetic. Each features an urn-shaped body topped with crown-like finials, their forms softened by hand-painted shades of pale blue, cream, and natural wood peeking through the worn finish. The openwork design introduces a lace-like lightness, evoking a blend of classical and ecclesiastical aesthetics. These sculptural candleholders are not merely decorative, they’re expressive artifacts that reflect both spirituality and domestic ritual. Perfect as mantelpiece accents, centerpiece décor, or flanking a console, they lend charm and historical character to a wide range of interiors, from romantic bohemian to curated rustic. Their one-of-a-kind presence and soft palette make them an ideal choice for collectors and stylists seeking texture, history, and quiet beauty.
