AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An iconic and sculptural four-branch candelabrum (girandole) made of solid brass, designed and manufactured by the famous Austrian designer and goldsmith Richard Rohac (Vienna) in the 1950s.

Rohac, who began his career at the legendary Werkstätte Hagenauer before founding his own studio, is world-renowned for his elegant Mid-Century Modern metal works.
This particular model captivates with its masterful, minimalist geometry: four goblet-shaped, slender nozzles are arranged on a row of gracefully curved brass arms, converging in a distinctive central circular link.
The entire object rests stably on a flat, round disc foot. The design perfectly reflects the progressive Viennese zeitgeist of post-war modernism.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The candelabrum has been gently and professionally polished by us, so the brass shines again in full luster without losing its historical character. The arms and nozzles are completely straight, the joints absolutely stable. The piece is fully ready to live in and flawless.

Bring the timeless shine of Viennese Mid-Century design into your home or complement your collection with this rare original piece!
