AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Piero Figura for Atena, Pair of Candlesticks in Pewter, 1970 ca..

Striking pair of sculptural candlesticks by Piero Figura for Atena. Each figure stands on a drum base and holds a vessel that serves as the candle cup. The design blends sculpture and function, with strong presence and fine surface detail.

The candlesticks are made of pewter (etain 95%, silver finish) and show rich engraving across the body and base. Both pieces are inscribed at the base ‘Piero Figura / PER ATENA / ETAIN 95%’.

Details
- Height: 45.5 cm
- Width: 20 cm
- Depth: 14.5 cm
- Weight: circa 5kg each


Condition: overall very good condition, with light wear (scratches, patina) consistent with age. Presence of a small, superficial burst at on the feet - mostly to the the weight of the pieces. One of the two candlesticks has sinked a few millimeters in its base, therefore there is a minor height difference of 5mm between the two items (almost unpercivable, see last picture)
