Pair of Gilt/Lacquered Floor Candle HoldersJapan, Meiji period, with a slender grooved stand mounted on a lobed dome-form floral base, surmounted with a lobed upturned bell-form top, with flat brass dishes, holders, and spikes (now loose), with original box, ht. to 28 1/8 in. Provenance: From the David Drabkin Collection, many of which were loaned to the Yale University Art Gallery for exhibition/research. Mr. Drabkin formed his art collection while residing in many parts of Asia, including Japan, China, and Thailand. His keen interest in Asian art led him to build a close relation with many fellow art collectors, gallery owners, art historians, and art dealers, such as J.J. Lally.
