About the Item

Imposing Pair of Italian Giltwood Altar Candlesticks – 19th Century This striking pair of ecclesiastical candlesticks originates from Italy and dates to the mid-19th century. Standing at 78 cm high, they were likely created for liturgical use within a chapel or altar setting. Carved in wood and adorned with remnants of original gilding, their surface has acquired a noble, timeworn patina that speaks of devotion and age. The design is classically baroque, with sculptural baluster shafts rising from tripod bases richly decorated with foliate carvings, lobed feet, and subtle beading. The carved elements, including acanthus leaves and draped forms, showcase skilled handwork and religious symbolism. The wear and visible age — including cracks, losses to the gilding and gesso, and softened edges — contribute to their authentic ecclesiastical character. These candlesticks are ideal for collectors of sacred art or as bold decorative accents in interiors that favor historical gravitas and old-world charm. Whether flanking a console, altar, or placed as sculptural objects, they exude solemnity and beauty. A rare and evocative pair from the sacred heart of 19th-century Italian craftsmanship
