AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Danish Art Deco candlestick by H.F. Ægte Bronce Ildfast for 1 taper candle - model with two fish – c. 1920–1930
A particularly decorative Danish Art Deco candlestick from the first half of the 20th century, made in heavy cast and finely patinated bronze.
The design is dominated by two highly stylized fish, placed back-to-back against each other and together supporting the central candle holder. The upward-curved tails and organically shaped bodies give the piece an almost sculptural appearance.
Of note is the combination of the streamlined fish, the geometrically constructed oval foot and the cup-shaped candle holder, which is characteristic of the transition from organic Art Nouveau to the more stylized vocabulary of the Art Deco period.
The bronze has a beautiful dark green-brown patina, with subtle nuances that particularly accentuate the reliefs and modeled details of the fish. This original patina has been deliberately preserved and greatly contributes to the character of the piece.
The candlestick is marked on the underside with H.F. / ÆGTE BRONCE / ILDFAST.
H.F. Ægte Bronce Ildfast is known from a range of Danish bronze decorative objects from this period, including candlesticks, bowls, boxes and other artisanal objects. Comparable marked H.F. Ildfast candlesticks are dated to the 1920s–30s.

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
