{"product_id":"antique-indian-painted-pillar-capitol-candlestand","title":"Painted Pillar Capitol Candlestand - 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unusual 19th century Indian pillar capital candlestand has a wonderfully sculptural presence, with its stepped octagonal base, rounded mouldings and ring of bead-like carving around the top. Originally part of an architectural element, it has been repurposed as a candlestand, giving new life to a fragment of old Indian craftsmanship. Layers of worn blue and green paint, together with the weathered timber surface, give it a richly timeworn character that would sit beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts architectural form makes it especially appealing as a decorative object in its own right, while the shallow metal candle cup at the top allows it to function as a striking candleholder. The distressed painted finish and visible age-related wear are very much part of its charm, highlighting its long history and handmade construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood with metal candle cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Architectural pillar capital form, octagonal base, bead-carved upper border, original worn painted finish in blue and green tones, repurposed as a candlestand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with age-related wear, losses, surface rubbing and a distressed painted finish consistent with age and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W29 x D29 x H22 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56993667088767,"sku":"A03923","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Painted_Indian_Pillar_Capital_Candlestand_With_Distressed_Blue_And_Green_Finish_19th_Century_A03923.jpg?v=1775574920","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/antique-indian-painted-pillar-capitol-candlestand","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
