I agree KC, I searched Dutch antique candelabra and found the same one that was posted on here.  I does appear to be Dutch, The age of the piece is what I would love to find out.  of the two that I have seen that were close, were not nearly as detailed as the one that I have.....

If anyone has plans to watch Les Miserables, keep a watch out in the early part of the movie when Jean Valjean is in the church where the priest gives him refuge. In the scene where he paces frantically back and forth through what looks like a long 'hallway' or gallery (towards an alter of sorts and back), watch the ceiling area. I'm near positive I saw something very similar hanging over his head in two of the shots............hu bby refused to rewind and pause for me  :P

I've tried googling pictures from the actual church used (St. Mary the Virgin, Ewelme, Oxfordshire), but no luck in spotting them. Possibly this particular scene was shot in a staged setting.

Nope!  Saw that and got really excited till I noticed what all was was attached.  The one I noticed was very similar to the poster's and definitely didn't have a mountain of metal hanging from it  ;)

The hanging bit could be similar from a distance.

I've seen the film but have no idea what she's talking about.

Ipcress, if you remember the part in the film where JVJ paces back and forth from some sort of alter then along a corridor type area wondering how he can turn his life around (he then exits the church to the outside)........as he travels the length and back there are a couple of brief shots where what appears to be a similar type 'candle holder' is hanging over his head. I'm trying to remember if this is before or after he steals the silver from the church, thinking it's after.

Just wondering about country of origin. We've already mentioned Dutch, if this is in the church used for the scenes it's in the UK, if a staged scene it may be a prop for/from a French church. Here are two more similar style holders.......but with nothing concrete in origin either (both located in Indiana, US)

They all seem to combine like/similar symbols.......with the exception being that TIMNRYAN's human figure has wings.
