Very ornate alter candelabra. Likely for a home alter. Many older homes used to have a special alcove in one wall for home worship. This item has a raised Made in USA mark on the bottom. Age est: early 1900's. It stands 10.75 tall x 7.5 wide. It is very beautiful and very heavy. Ormulu is a coating made to resemble gold that is put on over brass or bronze which is what I think this is. Due to the weight of this item may be bronze. It is not iron, a magnet doesn't stick to it. Ormulu was used in the 19th C to early 20th C. It is a very unique item; have never come across anything like it in 45 years of hunting! 5/10brncs
