Renaissance Style Candlestick

This Renaissance style candlestick, with its turned and elaborately carved column and triangular base, was made for a church in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Quebec. It has been attributed to François-Noël Levasseur, who came from a long line of master carvers active in Quebec during the 1700s.
