Candelabrum (2) - Silver

This is a pair of twin five-arm candelabras, characterized by a design that fuses the purity of geometric lines from the modern movement with the excellence of Argentine handcrafted silverware.

The Shaft and Spheres: The central structure rises from the base via a stylized, smooth conical shaft. The vertical axis is interrupted by two textured ornamental spheres (a lower one that acts as a junction knot and an upper one that crowns the axis). These spheres feature a rough or finely chiselled finish that intentionally contrasts with the mirror-polished rest of the piece.

The Arms: From the central knot emerge four tubular curved arms of circular cross-section. They extend symmetrically in a “U” shape or stylized volute, rising to the same height as the central stem to form the five light points on a single horizontal plane.

The Candlesticks and Cups: Each arm terminates in a smooth cylindrical candle cup with a flared mouth, designed to receive standard candles. The fixed plates or integrated rings are subtle and minimalist.

The Base and Markings: The set rests on a convex, smooth circular base, free of mouldings. On the outer edge of the base are two maker’s marks applied by stamping: a vertical elliptical cartridge (indicative of the metal’s purity contrast) and an upper circular punch that corresponds to the workshop or silversmith’s mark.
