Authentic French Gothic Revival church candlestick dating to the second half of the 19th century.
Cast in solid brass and constructed from three separate screw-joined elements, reflecting traditional ecclesiastical metalworking techniques.
The candlestick features a richly decorated Gothic base with trefoil and architectural motifs, paired with an elegant vertical shaft inspired by cathedral columns. Originally used for liturgical purposes in a church or chapel.
A genuine piece of 19th-century sacred art, ideal for collectors of ecclesiastical antiques or Gothic interiors.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
