Origin
Found at a flea market in Rosenau, Waldviertel, Lower Austria.

Price is for 1 piece.

This piece was found in Rosenau, at a stall full of forgotten items in the Waldviertel. What at first glance appears to be signs of wear is in reality the sum of many years: the dark shadows in the volutes, the dull spot on the base. A candlestick that never quite came to rest – perhaps that's why it's still waiting for a last flame.
