About the Item

This elegant 19th-century Italian neoclassical candlestick is crafted from a combination of gilt bronze and patinated brass, showcasing refined classical design elements and sculptural ornamentation. The tall, tapering column rises gracefully from a substantial base supported by stylized paw feet, a motif commonly associated with neoclassical and empire-inspired decorative arts. The surface displays a rich contrast between warm gilt tones and areas of verdigris patina, particularly visible along the lower body and base, adding depth and visual interest while highlighting its age and authenticity. The candlestick retains its original form and character, with a well-proportioned drip pan and candle cup at the top. The base appears to be mounted on a dark plinth, likely wood or ebonized material, providing both stability and visual grounding. Wear consistent with age is present throughout, including surface oxidation, rubbing to the gilding, and patina buildup, all of which enhance its antique appeal rather than detract from it. This piece would serve beautifully as a decorative accent on a mantel, console, or dining table, and is equally suitable for traditional, classical, or eclectic interiors. A fine example of Italian neoclassical metalwork from the 1800s. Measurements: 12” H x 4.5” W x 4.5” L
