About the Item

18th century Italian candlestick top decorated with sunset cactus quartz and a baroque pearl. The gold leaf candlestick top originally came from an 18th century Italian candlestick. The sunset cactus quartz is mounted onto the candlestick top. Sunset cactus quartz is well known for its beautiful and striking color. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the candlestick top is original and authentic 18th century. The Italian church candlestick top artifact, sunset cactus quartz, and baroque pearl are put together in a sculptural form, creating a historical, yet organic modern piece that appears to have evolved together over time. Interpreting the past to create a piece entirely original, evolving in its own right.
