This three branch candle holder started off as a very plain, bare candle holder without much life. The frame is quite fine so the surface area was not sufficent for the usual decorative painted finishes which was applied to many of my other recreated treasures.

However, we are not limited to just painted finished in bringing to life an old, unwanted piece. Red is one of my favourite colours and it tied in nicely with the beaded fringing I had on hand. This idea was different to what I had been recreating in the past. It was a bit of an experiment too and I enjoyed every minute of the recreation process.

An item like this can look deliciously gorgeous amongst your precious collectables, on the boudoir dressing table, in front of a mantle mirror, on a secretaire ……..

……… or where ever it takes your fancy. What are your thoughts on this recreated treasure?

Ciao, Elena
