Empire-style candlestick, electrified to function as a floor lamp; it was built between 1950 and 1955 by an artisan workshop in Florence and was made on commission for a noble family of the city, therefore never put on the market. It was born from the collaboration between the artisan workshop and an important and ancient art foundry near Florence; the craftsman designed the different pieces of the candlestick inspired by a rich and elegant Empire style, then delivered the project to the foundry, which created the shapes and cast the brass components with the skill and passion of a generation of founding artists. In fact, in this foundry, with an ancient Renaissance flavor, you can breathe the high craftsmanship of the laboratory where the works are born in a magical succession of shapes, materials and colors. The finished pieces were returned to the skilled Florentine craftsman who chiseled them accurately and meticulously in order to bring out even the smallest details; all the elements were then gilded with an excellent quality galvanic bath gilding; the craftsman, before definitively assembling all the elements, brushed an acid burnisher to antiquate the surface of the brass, which over time also formed an original patina, making this object even more precious and aesthetically engaging today.
