The style of calligraphy and the content of the benedictory inscriptions of our candlestick relate to the most typical dedications on Fars metalwork. The calligraphic cartouches here are divided with three medallions each encompassing an elegant horseman with varying crops.
A very similar Fars candlestick base is in the Aron collection (Allan, 1986, p.136, pl.36). A brass Fars candlestick of comparable design was sold in these Rooms, 11 April 2000, lot 270. Another extraordinary example of a Fars candlestick formerly in The Collection of Charles Gillot (1853-1903) was sold at Christie’s, Paris, 4 March 2008, lot 8.
