About the Item

Standing at six feet tall, this elegant antique torchère was crafted in Italy circa 1860. The carved candleholder stands on a wide triangular plinth resting on bun feet, over a shaped and molded base adorned with scroll and shell motifs in high relief. The turned and tapered shaft is embellished with acanthus leaf mounts, floral garlands, and neoclassical ornaments throughout, all richly accented with gilding. The column terminates with a decorative bobeche and iron candle plate supporting a wax candle. This refined Italian floor candlestick retains its original polychrome and gold leaf finish, beautifully aged with a mellow patina and subtle wear that enhances its authenticity. Versatile and architectural in presence, it would add height and grandeur to a living room, library, or chapel corner. The piece could also be wired as a dramatic floor lamp if desired. Measures: 29.5" W x 29.5" D x 72" H.
