Description from the seller

Pair of Gio Ponti Candlesticks for Christofle – Silver-Plated – France

An iconic pair of silver-plated candlesticks designed by the legendary Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti and produced by Christofle, one of France’s most prestigious silversmiths.

These sculptural candlesticks feature the celebrated crossed-arch design that perfectly reflects Gio Ponti’s modernist aesthetic, combining elegance, balance, and architectural purity. Their distinctive silhouette makes them instantly recognizable and highly sought after by collectors of 20th-century design.

Marked Christofle on the underside.

Crafted in silver-plated metal, the candlesticks display a refined satin and polished finish that beautifully enhances their sculptural form. Equally impressive as functional candle holders or as decorative objects, they embody the timeless sophistication of French and Italian design.

Designer: Gio Ponti
Manufacturer: Christofle
Origin: France
Material: Silver-plated metal
Period: 20th century
Height: 20 cm
Quantity: Pair (2 candlesticks)

A rare opportunity to acquire an emblematic design by Gio Ponti for Christofle, combining sculptural beauty, functionality, and exceptional decorative presence. A highly desirable pair for collectors of modernist design and luxury decorative arts.
