HEAVY C.1900 VINTAGE ANGEL CHERUB HANGING CANDLE HOLDER FROM CHURCH ?:
$100.00

JUST OUT OF AN OLD ESTATE I FOUND THIS REALLY UNUSUAL LATE VICTORIAN ERA HANGING CANDLE HOLDER. IT HAS A VERY HEAVY SOLID LEAD TYPE METAL ANGEL OR CHERUB HOLDING 2 LONG CHAINS TO KEEP IT BALANCED WHILE IN USE. THERE IS AN EVEN LONGER HANGING CHAIN ATTACHED TO ANGELS BACK WITH HANGING RING. IT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND UNTOUCHED. THERE IS WEAR TO THE BRONZE GOLD PAINT ON THE ANGEL THAT SHOULD BE REPAINTED. THE RED YOU SEE IS ACTUALLY THE PRIMER USED UNDER THE GOLD. THE FLAKING AND WEAR TO IT WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY HEAT FROM THE CANDLE. IT IS NOT ROTTED OR DETERIORATED AT ALL AS THE BODY IS HEAVY AND SOLID. IT IS UNMARKED BUT IS MOST LIKELY ITALIAN. I AM UNSURE IF IT IS A VICTORIAN WHIMSY OR WAS USED IN A CHURCH. THERE ARE NO REPAIRS. OLD BLUE GLASS CANDLE HOLDER SITS NICE AND FIRM INSIDE HOLDER. ITS ENTIRE LENGTH FROM CEILING TO BOTTOM OF CANDLE HOLDER IS A WHOPPING 33 5/8 INCHES. ANGEL IS 4 3/4 INCHES HIGH 4 1/4 WIDE AT WINGS WHICH ARE NOT BENT UP. HOLDER IS 3 1/4 INCHES HIGH. IT WEIGHS 1 1/4 POUNDS. A REALLY GREAT AND UNUSUAL ITEM. BUYER TO PAY WITHIN 3 DAYS THANKS.
