Absolutely massive solid bronze Imperial Chinese candle stick or candle holder. The rich dark brown bronze metal is carefully engraved throughtout with "Cloud" pattern and Lie wen - when looked at closely one appreciates the detail in this piece. Central area of floral style open work. Traditonal Chinese/Asian in style, somewhat Gothic, somewhat Japanese. Condition is excellent - some verdigris and patination. The qulaity of this piece is very high, to the quality of Japanese bronzes. A very impressive table or floor candle holder or candle stick.
