Candleholder - Copper - Big and heavy antique ke

Large and heavy antique church candlestick with angel heads and spiral stem – Brass/Yellow copper – 50 cm / 7.6 kg – ca. 1900 ​Description: ​Beautiful, very robust and authentic altar/church candlestick made of solid cast brass/yellow copper. This impressive candelabrum is characterized by its classic Neo-Gothic/Neo-Baroque form with a masterfully twisted (spiral) stem and refined religious details. ​The triangular base is richly decorated with raised angels’ heads (cherubs) and rests on sturdy corner feet. At the top there is a generous drip pan with profiled edge and an original steel spike/pin holder for large church candles. ​Given the substantial weight of well over 7.6 kg, this is an extremely stable and high-quality casting with a beautiful warm-golden patina developed over time. ​Origin: Western Europe (probably Belgium / France / the Netherlands). ​Dating: ca. 1890 – 1920. ​Material: Cast brass / yellow copper. ​Height: 50 cm (excluding candle). ​Width/Base: 14 cm. ​Weight: 7.6 kg. ​Condition: ​In very good antique condition with normal age-related signs of use and aging. The brass shows a lovely natural patina and light superficial wear that enhances its character. No cracks or structural defects; very sturdy. ​(Candle shown in photos is for illustration and is not included). ​The object will be carefully packed and insured shipped with track & trace.
