Candlestick - Copper - Chandelier

Armenian copper chandelier with a square base – Ottoman Empire, 19th century Turned and moulded copper chandelier, resting on a square base with a gadrooned decoration. The baluster shaft bears an Armenian inscription on the central body, probably a donor’s mark or a short votive formula. Characteristic production of the Armenian workshops of Anatolia in the Ottoman era, intended for religious use (church or chapel) or Christian domestic use. The binet is hollowed directly from the solid. Beautiful antique patina with verdigris oxidations and signs of use consistent with age. No apparent restoration. Wear and small dents visible, without structural fragility. An interesting object for its architectural form and for the presence of the Armenian inscription, bearing witness to the Christian community context under Ottoman rule.

The object will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery. Happy bidding
