Authentic Hand Blown Crystal Candle Reliquary Circa 1800s Museum Grade

Description

For sale is an exceptionally rare and highly significant crystal candle cover believed to originate from a little known European glassmaking lineage dating back to the early 19th century.

This piece features advanced spiral fluting which experts agree could only have been achieved through master level hand blowing techniques passed down through generations of artisan glassmakers. The clarity is remarkable with light refraction qualities usually reserved for royal collections and private archives.

It is believed this item was originally used to protect ceremonial candles in aristocratic households and possibly once resided on an estate of historical importance. The swirling design symbolises continuity time and wealth according to obscure but respected crystal lore.

Comparable items are not available on the open market and valuations place this piece in the region of £250,000 depending on buyer and enthusiasm.

Condition is outstanding for its age with only minimal signs of historical existence. Has been carefully stored on a wooden surface in a temperature controlled environment recently.

Perfect for collectors museums interior designers or anyone wanting to casually own something worth more than a house.
No time wasters. Serious collectors only. Cash preferred. Will not post. Collection only as I do not trust couriers with artefacts of this magnitude.

If you know you know.
