Description: A pair of large altar candlesticks made of carved wood, partly with a gold patina and partly with a porphyry … more A pair of large altar candlesticks made of carved wood, partly with a gold patina and partly with a porphyry look, on a trefoil base with lion's paws and rocaille decoration. There are three coat of arms cartouches with a relief annunciation scene (= annunziata), ‘ss annunziata’ and dated ‘anno domini 1627’. Six spheres and coin bands could indicate a connection to the medici family.

the candelabras probably represent a donation to the church of santissima annunziata in florence in 1627, possibly by christine of lorraine (1565 bar-le-duc - 1636 florence, italian: cristiana di lorena) due to the references to the medici. She was married to ferdinando i de medici and was grand duchess of tuscany.

condition: restored setting, cleaned and lightly retouched.
