18th Century Italian Gilded Fragment with Chalcopyrite and Pyrite in Matrix

About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian gilded candlestick with pyrite in matrix on a coordinating chalcopyrite mineral base. The gilded fragment was originally part of a candlestick in a historical Italian church in Italy. It is mounted on the coordinating chalcopyrite and adorned with pyrite in matrix. 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 pyrite in matrix are put together in a sculptural form - creating an organic and historically significant work of art.
