17th Century Italian Candlestick with Fossil Agate Coral & Pearls on Lucite

About the Item

17th century distressed Italian decorated church candlestick with fossil agate coral and natural forming baroque pearls on a lucite base. The 17th century Italian distressed candlestick originally came from a church in Florence, Italy. Fossil agate coral is Florida's state stone and is known for its unique formation that can take place over 20 million years. It's a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. The Italian church candlestick artifact, fossil agate coral, and baroque pearl are put together in a sculptural form - creating a piece that appears to have evolved together over time. Interpreting the past to create a piece entirely original, evolving in its own right.

    17th Century Italian church vase decorated with fossil agate coral, red phantom quartz crystals, and chalcedony rosettes on polished agate base. This fragment is from a church in Florence. It was found and saved from the historic flooding of the Arno River in 1966. Fossil agate coral is mounted on top of the artifact.
