Description
Medici-style candlestick. Historicist school. 19th century
Cast and chased gilt bronze. Measures 18 x 10 x 10 cm. This elegant, vertically articulated candlestick rests on a stepped circular base, with a turned shaft and two scalloped cup-shaped sections, adorned with reliefs of lion heads, mascarons and classically inspired plant motifs. The piece presents a balanced and ornamental silhouette, with a decorative repertoire inspired by Renaissance and Baroque models that reinforces its sumptuous character. The gilded surface enhances the overall visual richness and emphasises the volumes, the relief details and the rhythm of the sculpted elements. Its craftsmanship combines functionality with decorative sensibility, reflecting a historicist style that revived Italian forms and ornamentation, adapting them to 19th-century collecting and interior design.
