Antique French Wooden Fragment Candlestick

$455.00

Stunning French candlesticks, carved from wood and finished with traces of original gilding. Each one is a sculptural fragment from a larger ecclesiastical or architectural piece—designed to be viewed from one side, with a flat reverse meant to rest against a wall, niche, or altar.

The hand-carved details include scrolling flourishes, fleur-de-lis motifs, and floral crests, all softened and timeworn by nearly two centuries of candlelight and devotion. Layers of old paint, exposed wood, and dripped wax create a surface rich in texture and history.

Sold individually, these candlesticks make striking decorative accents on a mantel, console, or styled bookshelf—bringing a touch of 19th-century French craftsmanship into any room.
