Tall 19th century Italian church altar candlestick - carved wood 26½"

This tall Italian altar candlestick from the late 19th century is carved from wood, likely walnut, known for its durability and fine grain. Its origins in a church setting are evident in the detailed craftsmanship and reverent design. The candlestick bears the marks of time: signs of woodworm and some repairs testify to its long-standing use and the care taken to preserve it. Note on of the feet is slightly loose as seen in detail photos.
