Vintage Heavy Solid Brass Altar Candlestick | 17-Inch Architectural Turned Metal Candlestick | Baroque Style Square Base Statement Pillar Holder

Vintage Heavy Solid Brass 17-Inch Altar Candlestick

The Story & Design

Bring a commanding architectural presence and warm, historic luster to your decor with this magnificent vintage solid brass candlestick. Standing at a statuesque 17 inches tall and weighing a substantial 5.8 pounds, this heavy, foundry-cast piece captures the timeless grandeur of traditional European church altar sticks or formal manor house appointments.

The column features an incredibly handsome, classic turned-baluster silhouette with thick faceted rings, a generous drip-pan saucer rim at the crown, and a deep interior candle cup ready to accommodate standard tapers or small pillar candles. The column flows down into a heavy, tiered square pedestal base. Left unlacquered, the solid brass has developed a gorgeous, deep authentic patina with bright golden highlights and beautiful microscopic age character that only real, historical metal can achieve.
