Sculptural 18th Century Italian Candlestick Fragment with Galena and Pyrite

About the Item

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