About the Item
Sculptural 18th century Italian mecca fragment candlestick with a fossil shell and wulfenite on a polished calcite base.
The fragment was originally part of an 18th century Italian candlestick from a historic church. It is mounted with a fossil shell, adorned with wulfenite and placed on a polished calcite base.
