Description

View Art Nouveau Cast Metal Art Figural Putto Flaming Candlestick Holder Footed Base with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Most of these type of pieces were made in France, Italy and Germany. The candlestick swivels and under the base you will see a new washer and threaded screw. The candlestick is in fair condition. And the piece still swivels. This unique Art Nouveau cast metal figural single candlestick is of a silver toned "putto" cherub angel holding a flaming candlestick on a blue base mounted to a silver tone footed stand. This type of art was typical of the Art Nouveau era (1880-1914) with its flowing lines, figural subject such as a Putti and elegant design. Most of these type of pieces were made in France, Italy and Germany. This piece does not have a maker's stamp or signature and was most likely a molded cast metal piece.  The silver-toned angel is mounted to a blue base that has slight marbling affect and made to look like alabaster. The base has a decorative scalloped design and footed.  It is difficult to validate the time period this candlestick was made as the aging of the cast metal and the style indicates its older, but the threaded screw may be from a more recent time period.  The candlestick swivels and under the base you will see a new washer and threaded screw. Antique cast metal pieces used rivets for pivoting.  The candlestick is in fair condition. There is heavy corrosion "peeling" of the cast metal. The gold tone flame has heavy corrosion & rusting on the cylinder washer. The base & feet have heavy wear & patina. There are no major chips, cracks or repairs. And the piece still swivels. The faux alabaster base has no chips or cracks, only slight surface scratches that are hardly noticeable.  Please see pictures for more on conditiion as the pictures serve as part of the description. The candlestick is approximately 7 & 3/4" in height and 3.5" in length/width.  Please message with any questions. Thank you for looking! Condition: Used.
