Originally likely part of a larger desk garniture or inkstand, the piece has at some point been adapted with a candle socket, giving it a sculptural presence somewhere between decorative object and candlestick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"719\" data-start=\"413\"\u003eThe ornate cast base stands on four dramatic scrolling feet and retains a beautifully timeworn surface with traces of its original gilded or bronzed finish. The pierced quatrefoil motifs and layered ornament are characteristic of the Louis XV revival style popular during the Napoleon III period in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"921\" data-start=\"721\"\u003eA wonderfully atmospheric piece for layering into shelves, mantels or tablescapes alongside antique books, pottery and decorative objects.
