18th-Century French Fragment Floral Candle Holder

Decorative 18th-century French carved wood urn fragment on a shaped plinth base, with traces of original gesso and earthy red showing through a naturally worn surface. Rising from the urn is an iron botanical stem worked as an open rose with buds and leaves — the open flower doubles as a candle cup, making this piece both sculptural and functional.

A unique accent to add French antique character and romantic charm to a mantel, console or dining table.
