About the Item
Sculptural 18th century Italian candlestick with a fossil clam shell and gold leaf barnacles mounted on a cut rock coral base.
The hand-carved, 18th century candlestick originally came from a church in Tuscany. It is mounted on a cut and fossilized rock coral base. The mounted fossil clam shell has produced natural barnacles that have been decorated with gold leaf to coordinate with the gilded candlestick.
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 candlestick is originally 18th century.
The Italian church candlestick, fossil clam shell, and cut coral base are put together in a sculptural form - creating a piece that appears to have evolved together over time. Interpreting the past to create a piece entirely original, evolving in its own right.
