A tall pair of Japanese carved wood candle holders circa early 19th century (late Edo Period). The pair is carved in the classic form with a block base in the shape of stylized chrysanthemums and long fluted stem with subtle changes in diameter. On top of the holders, there are brass hardware with the round dish fixed to the wood base and the insert picket and the restrainer being removeable. The fluted surface is partially covered with gold leaf that contrasts beautifully with the dark brown lacquered part. These types of oversized candle holders were traditionally used in Buddhist temples or Samurai's resident where they were placed on the altar table for worshiping.
The pair of the candlestick comes with a wood storage box with inscription of titles and the owner's name Fujita and it was in the former collection of David Drabkin. less
