Antique metal base – Art Nouveau style candlestick/lamp stand – Early 20th century

Superb antique cast metal base , formerly used as a candlestick base, small lamp or light fixture .
The openwork decoration features stylized floral motifs characteristic of the Art Nouveau style (1900–1920) : plant curves, organic lines, arabesques.

The piece is covered with its original green patina , a natural result of the metal's oxidation over time. This gives it an authentic and highly sought-after charm in the world of antique objects.
