Coppia monumentale di candelabri liturgici con stemma...

Impressive and rare pair of large liturgical altar or chapel candelabra, a strong testament to period ecclesiastical metallurgy, datable to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Made through a massive casting in a bronze and brass alloy, the artifacts are distinguished by an extraordinary visual presence and a notable substantial weight, offering a visually solemn impact. Sand-cast fabrication finds full confirmation in the typical texture and the granulometry of the rough inner patina, clearly visible when observing the reverse of the circular base. The structure appears intact and coherent, extending with the same homogeneous alloy also onto the integrated upper finial, intended to house the large candles. The exterior surface preserves a warm natural gilding of the metal, enriched by a splendid and authentic patina of time with slight and fascinating signs of wear that certify its antiquity and absolute genuineness, without any structural restoration or invasive welding. From a stylistic and decorative standpoint, the structure rests on a solid and wide circular base rhythmically stepped with finely moulded steps, designed to guarantee maximum stability and to balance with elegance the substantial vertical development of the piece. The shaft rises upward through a harmonious and rigorous sequence of turned nodes, swollen collars, and grooves in a late Baroque and Neoclassical taste. The most notable and collectible rarity element is the central vase body, adorned on the front with a refined noble coat of arms hand-engraved entirely with a burin. The blazon features a shield with a transverse band topped by a noble crown and finely framed by scrolls and guilloches, a clear indication of an important aristocratic commission or of a high ecclesiastical patronage.
