About the Item

A pair of 18th century Italian gold leaf church altar vases decorated with fossil shells, siliquaria, and natural forming baroque pearls. The vases originally came from a church in Arezzo, Italy.

The pair Italian church candlesticks, fossil shells, siliquaria, and baroque pearls are put together in a historical yet modern sculptural form.
