19th Century Italian Bronze Altar Candlestick, Custom Shade, Now Electrified A 19th-century Italian bronze altar candlestick is now elegantly transformed into a lamp with a custom shade and electrification.

The lamp measures 35 inches high to the top of the socket and 32 inches high to the top of the bobeche of the candlestick. The custom portrait shade adds to its charm, measuring 14 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 5 inches deep.
