About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian candlestick mounted with chalcopyrite and calcite crystals in matrix. The gilded fragment was originally part of a candlestick in a historical Italian church in Italy. It is mounted with the coordinating chalcopyrite and calcite crystals in matrix which is a rare and precious mineral formation. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the Italian fragment is originally 18th century. The Italian church artifact and chalcopyrite with calcite crystals are put together in a sculptural form - creating an organic and historically significant work of art.
