Antique Candlestick, Brass, Likely Venetian, Mid 16th Century, Cast and Turned, Rare Outwardly Flaring Banded Nozzle, Ring, Baluster and Urn Turned Shaft, entire view

Rare base metal socket candlestick; cast and turned shaft peened under the cast and turned, domed and dished base which was strengthened during working life with solder. The shaft style relates to Nuremberg candlesticks of the period yet the base is atypical; similar to Northwestern European drum bases and Islamic candlestick bases. Venice was the crossroad of the Middle East and the west, amalgamations of design typically evolved. This may be one of those hybrids. (Minor dings, vestiges of time suffered over the centuries, else fine and original; H: 7.25")
