About the Item

Sculptural 17th century Italian gilt candlestick mounted on chalcopyrite and adorned with gold-plated kyanite. This fragment was originally part of a candlestick from a church in Italy. It is distressed from time but still has the original gold leaf on aspects of the piece which coordinates with the chalcopyrite crystals. The natural-forming chalcopyrite beautifully contrasts with the grey druzy crystal matrix. The fragment artifact has been preserved and transformed into a sculptural work by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects and period shows that the Italian candlestick is originally 17th century. Together, the elements create a contemporary, yet historically significant sculptural work of organic and old.
