Candle holder

Artistic candle holder in empire style

This artistic candle holder in empire style carved from a single piece of wood with criss-crossing garlands and acanthus leaves is painted in vivid yellow, red and green. The base on three legs rises up like a pyramid and lends the candle holder a stable, yet elegant look. Carved frames and partially turned candle holders were an important area of production for the Gröden art industry in the 18th and 19th centuries.
