Offered by EHRL Fine Art & Antique
REQUEST INFORMATION
A pair of large altar candlesticks made of carved wood, partly with a gold patina and partly with a porphyry look, on a trefoil base with lion's paws and rocaille decoration. There are three coat of arms cartouches with a relief Annunciation scene (= Annunziata), ‘SS Annunziata’ and dated ‘Anno Domini 1627’. Six spheres and coin bands could indicate a connection to the Medici family.
The candelabras probably represent a donation to the church of Santissima Annunziata in Florence in 1627, possibly by Christine of Lorraine (1565 Bar-le-Duc - 1636 Florence, Italian: Cristiana di Lorena) due to the references to the Medici. She was married to Ferdinando I de Medici and was Grand Duchess of Tuscany.
Condition: restored setting, cleaned and lightly retouched.
Provenance:
Fischer-Böhler Munich,
Dorotheum Vienna,
private collection Vienna,
H. Lockner Würzburg
Delevery information :
The place of performance for all contractual claims is the Seller's place of business (Greding). This shall also apply if the seller sends the goods to another destination at the customer's request (sale by delivery to a place other than the place of performance). If the seller is also responsible for the assembly or installation of the goods at the customer's premises, the place of performance shall be the place of assembly or installation of the goods.
The costs of shipment shall be borne by the customer. The goods shall be shipped to the delivery address specified by the customer. The seller shall not be obliged to ship the goods abroad unless otherwise agreed.
If the customer trades as an entrepreneur and if, at the customer's request, the seller ships the goods to a destination other than the place of performance, the risk of accidental loss of the goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the carrier or to the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. The seller retains his claim to payment of the purchase price.
If the customer is acting as a consumer and if, at the customer's request, the seller ships the goods to a destination other than the place of performance, the risk of accidental loss of the goods shall only pass to the customer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment if the customer has commissioned the carrier, the freight forwarder or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer. The seller retains his claim to payment of the purchase price.
If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This shall not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation. In the event of effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.
In the case of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the customer that the goods ordered by him are ready for collection. The customer may then collect the goods from the seller's registered office by arrangement with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.
