Exceptional bronze lamp base, an antique candlestick dating from 1580 to 1620. Origin: France.
It was electrified in the 20th century and repurposed as a lamp base.
This very old object is in excellent condition, with no damage. It is particularly stable and perfectly stable.
The advantages of this exceptional piece, which will likely become the oldest item in your home:
1) It comes with full provenance. It was acquired from an auctioneer, and the auction record will be provided to the buyer. For this type of religious object, provenance is important and will be a valuable asset for any future resale.
2) It is certified by the auctioneer, whose legal obligation includes providing accurate information. The record states: “Bronze candlestick, France, 16th or early 17th century, electrified.” In addition to the invoice, a copy with a photo of the item and the auction reference number (CAPT41) will be provided.
It measures approximately 57 cm in height, with the modern section including the lampshade hoop starting at a height of approximately 35.5 cm.
The width is 16 cm at the base and 14.5 cm at the hoop. It weighs 1.9 kg. The electrical cord is 2.35 m long.
The electrical wiring is functional. It will be shipped without a light bulb. There is no lampshade to allow the buyer to match it to their interior décor.
This is a beautiful historical piece, with its provenance documented. I am reluctantly parting with it to make some space.
It will be shipped securely packaged.
