Product description
This is a tall, intricately hand-carved wooden candlestick carved from solid hardwood, likely possibly teak or mahogany.
The base is square-shaped, raised on carved legs, with a curving contour and flared body. This gives it a strong architectural presence. The column tapers upward with both smooth and fluted carvings. There’s a section of stylized floral or flame-like motifs near the bottom of the column. On top, there is a disk-like candle plate with a metal spike at the centre to secure a candle.
A mid-20th-century piece, made using traditional methods. It's clearly a candlestick, and its size and design suggest it might have been used in ritual or ceremonial contexts, or as a decorative object in a formal setting. Probably made in India, Sri Lanka, or Thailand, where such wooden ceremonial objects are often made for religious or decorative purposes.
Condition: In good condition. Some wear and minor cracking in the finish.
Dimensions: Height 63 cm, Width 14 cm Depth 14 cm (at the base), Candle plate diameter 14 cm.
The lot will be carefully packed and sent by registered and insured post with a track and trace number. It can also be collected from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Some wear and minor cracking in the finish.
