A superb, large ceremonial candelabra (or candleholder) from the Ottoman period, dating from the late 19th century or around 1900. A monumental piece of exceptional craftsmanship, ideal for a distinctive interior or for collectors of Islamic and Oriental art. In terms of its size and structure, this object resembles the grand light fixtures found in mosques or stately period interiors, sharing the grandeur of large European church chandeliers.
Material: Solid bronze (or heavy solid brass) with a beautiful antique patina.
Chiseling: The baluster-style shaft and the central cup are entirely hand-engraved. The octagonal base features magnificent cartouches adorned with stylized geometric and floral motifs typical of Oriental art.
Structure: Sturdy, traditional design. The candelabrum is assembled from several original sections, held together by an internal threaded iron rod.
