Candlestick with triangular base. Bronze. Spain, 18th century.

Bronze candlestick with a triangular base raised on three legs and enhanced with moldings, a balustraded shaft with discs of different diameters and a similarly decorated top, right in the area used for the candle. This type of element was common in the 18th century, both in important private homes and in monasteries, convents, churches, etc., and the present work responds to a very common typology in Spain at that time.
