Two silvered brass Art Nouveau candelabras dating to 1950–1960, each with a circular base and three arms, dimensions 30 × 26 × 14 cm, in good used condition with minor signs of age and imperfections.
Description from the seller
They are two silver-plated brass candlesticks that faithfully embody the spirit of Art Nouveau from the first half of the 20th century: that blend of sinuous elegance, meticulous craftsmanship, and a clear decorative intention that turns every object into a small domestic sculpture. The circular bases, worked with engraved motifs, provide a visual weight that anchors the piece, while the arms rise with a wavy, almost vegetal movement, forming soft curves that resemble stylized stems or vines. That fluency is very characteristic of the style, always seeking lively, organic lines.
The silvering of the brass, with its restrained shine, adds a refined air without tipping into ostentation. The surface reflects light in a warm way, enhancing the volumes and the transitions between each curve. The three arms of each candlestick open with balance, creating a symmetry that is not rigid but natural, as if the piece had grown rather than been assembled. The candle-holders, slightly flared, complete the ensemble with a classic touch that dialogues well with the exuberance of the forms.
Overall, they are candlesticks that combine functionality and art, perfect for settings where one seeks a decorative presence with history and a touch of romance.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
