Antique Carved Teak Wood Candlesticks

These unusual and striking antique candlesticks are pieces of wheel spokes, taken from Shiva and Krishna carts used to transport giant effigies of the deities through the streets during festival periods. Intricately hand carved teak wood (plain at back) and painted a beautiful blue-green-teal colour with an iron candle sconce fitted on top, every candlestick is unique, so please allow for variation in size, shape and colour when ordering. Goa, southern India, 18th century.
