Antique French Faience Chamberstick | Hand-Painted Polychrome Ceramic Candle Holder | Rouen Style Floral

This is a beautiful piece of European ceramic history. A hand-painted faience chamberstick in the French Rouen tradition, the octagonal saucer base, the turned ceramic column, and the finger ring are all hallmarks of 18th and 19th century French pottery craft.

The polychrome decoration is remarkable: cobalt blue, burnt orange, and sage green florals rendered with the loose, confident brushwork is just stunning 

Style it on a bedside table, a mantelpiece, or a shelf of curated ceramics.
