Subject:Ming bronze candlestick
Posted By: Chris J. Sun, Aug 22, 2021 IP: 89.65.240.246
I need any information about signature on this candlestick which I believe is from Ming period. The candlestick is of very good quality. It is very fine ciseled and was gilt. Any information about signature would be appreciated.

The apocryphal six character mark reads,
大明宣徳年製　- Made during the Xuande Reign of the Great Ming Empire

Actually, your candlestick could be 100 years old.

With regards,
