Candlestick - Copper - Chandelier

Armenian copper engraved chandelier – Ottoman Empire, circa 1801 Turned copper chandelier, with a baluster shaft and a wide circular base, intended for liturgical or religious domestic use. It bears on the base an inscription engraved in Armenian, indicating presumably a votive dedication and a date corresponding to the very beginning of the 19th century (circa 1801). Armenian artisanal craftsmanship from the Ottoman period, characteristic of the production of Christian communities in Anatolia and the Caucasus, where liturgical objects were often signed or dedicated. Beautiful old patina, traces of use and oxidation consistent with age. No visible restoration. Historically interesting item due to the presence of the Armenian inscription. Photos are an integral part of the object's description and complement its presentation. They allow one to assess its condition and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any bidding. The item will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery. Happy bidding
