About the Item

Impressive 19th Century Italian Giltwood Candlestick – 113cm High – Keys of Saint Peter A striking and monumental 19th-century Italian ecclesiastical candlestick, richly hand-carved and polychromed, standing an imposing 113cm high. This piece, likely originating from a church or chapel, features classic architectural elements such as a fluted shaft, lotus-like carvings, and a deeply molded drip pan. Most notably, the quadrangular base displays in high relief the crossed keys of Saint Peter — the emblematic symbol of papal authority — delicately tied with a ribbon, reinforcing its religious provenance and symbolic gravitas. Time has bestowed upon this piece a sublime patina: layers of gilt, subdued polychromy, and signs of devotional wear that only add to its solemn beauty and authenticity. Resting on bun feet and crafted in solid wood, it is both sculptural and sacred, perfect for collectors of liturgical art, decorative arts enthusiasts, or those seeking an object of dramatic presence with spiritual resonance. A rare find — evocative, dignified, and steeped in Roman Catholic iconography.
