Candle holder

Superb large antique candlestick (torch) in solid brass with a beautiful patina of time, inspired by the Louis XIV / Regency style. It stands out for its beautiful proportions and architectured silhouette: a wide, very stable octagonal base with steps, a faceted baluster shaft with eight sides, and a matching bobeche. The old assembly under the base and the slight traces of verdigris testify to its authenticity and period charm. Ideal for adding a classic touch, chic country house, or curiosity cabinet on a fireplace, console, or as a centerpiece. Condition: Good overall condition with its original unpolished patina. Presence of signs of use and natural oxidation (notably inside the bobeche and under the foot) consistent with its age. Dimensions: Height: 24 cm / Base width: 13.5 cm.
