Of characteristic sectional construction, the separately turned elements united by a central tang attached to the base — entirely as expected for the type and period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCandlesticks of this pattern travelled far from their Franconian workshops, and many survive in Spanish and Italian churches and households, where they are frequently — and mistakenly — attributed to those countries. The present example carries a deep, unimproved olive-brown patina developed over four centuries, with honest wear to the foot rim and drip pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA handsome and sculptural survivor of early modern domestic lighting, equally at home on an oak table, mantel, or sideboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuremberg, Germany.
