Candelabrum

Seven-branched candelabrum in brass. Purchased in the United States, from the "California Mission" period (early 19th century). This candelabrum folds for easier transport. A small hole in the middle is made to attach a religious symbol (cross, Star of David, etc.). There is a slightly twisted dish (see photo). This piece is exceptional for its design and the delicacy of the engravings, and especially its rarity.
