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. This finely cast piece features gilt angel heads and inset patinated vignettes of saints, resting on a triangular scroll-footed base.
Standing at an impressive 48 inches high with the shade, this lamp is a striking addition to any interior. 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. The sturdy triangular base measures 11 inches deep, providing a solid foundation for this historic piece.
The lamp is composed of two items: the lamp base and the shade, both designed to complement each other beautifully. The bronze candlestick retains its original intricate detailing, highlighted by the gilt angel heads and saintly vignettes, while the custom shade adds a touch of contemporary functionality without compromising the antique's integrity.
