Hi Jake,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
That 'X' mark is the Capodimonte mark not the Meissen mark; this would mostly likely have been made in pairs so being just the one hurts the value a little bit
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A Capodimonte hand-painted and parcel gilt figural three-light candelabra
Italian, late 19th/early 20th Century
In the form of a cherub sitting in on a bough, the branch-form arms issuing three candle cups, with applied floral decoration, on a tripod base marked underneath.
11 3/4 inches (30 cm) high
PROVENANCE: inherited; previously in the family of a museum curator
AUD $150-200*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
