Description
PAIR OF LARGE BAROQUE CANDLESTICKS IN SOLID SILVER
Altar candlesticks in repoussé, chiselled and partially gilded (vermeil) solid silver; each piece features a flared circular bowl with gadrooned decoration, topped by a broad wrought-iron spike. The tall, square-section shaft is adorned on each side with cascading foliage and chiselled palmettes, and is surmounted by volutes forming a capital.
The tripod base, with its curved pyramidal shape, is richly decorated, featuring major liturgical and esoteric symbols on its various sides: the Eye of Providence, the Lamb of God, and the dove of the Holy Spirit against a background of sunbeams. The base is framed by a frieze of geometric Greek patterns, and the whole rests on three powerful lion’s-paw feet.
Baroque period, Italy, 17th–18th century.
