Description from the seller
Exceptionally rare and museum-quality 5-armed Art Deco candelabrum made of white-glazed fine earthenware (Feinsteingut). This avant-garde design icon was designed by the renowned German sculptor and ceramic artist Professor Adolf Behrmann for the prestigious Porzellan- und Feinsteingutfabrik Max Rösler in Rodach (Bavaria, Germany). The design ranks among the absolute top of German early modernism. The candelabrum is characterized by a bold, geometric linework ('Vierkantrohr' style) in which the arms intertwine in a unique, abstract manner to form a harmonious lattice, resting on a sleek semicircular foot. This specific and sought-after Bauhaus-/Art Deco model is extremely scarce on the market.
