18th-Century French Louis XVI Painted and Giltwood Altar Candlestick Lamp

About the Item

This French Louis XVI-style table lamp is crafted from an 18th-century altar candlestick, repurposed into a striking lighting piece. The hand-carved wood base features a triform design with elegant scrollwork, paw feet, and a delicate hand-painted medallion framed by a neoclassical cartouche. The distressed polychrome finish with gilded details showcases its original patina, adding depth and character. The faux candle column retains its aged paint, evoking the timeless charm of 18th-century ecclesiastical pieces. Topped with a classic linen shade, this lamp blends effortlessly with French Provincial, neoclassical, and old-world interiors. A sophisticated and historic lighting piece that brings authentic French elegance to any setting. This keeps the French authenticity while highlighting its altar candlestick origins. Let me know if you’d like any refinements! 7.5"W x 6.75"D x 23"H With Harp: 29.5"H Shade: 14" Diameter
