Description from the seller

Mid-20th Century Folding Six-Light Candle Holder – Sculptural Patinated Metal Design

An unusual vintage six-light folding candle holder with a striking architectural form. Its articulated construction allows the piece to be arranged in different configurations, while the aged golden-bronze finish gives it a rich decorative character.

Key Details

- Design: Six cylindrical candle holders with flared drip trays, connected by slender articulated metal arms. The folding structure creates an elegant geometric silhouette.
- Origin & Period: European manufacture, mid-20th century. Exact designer and manufacturer unknown.
- Materials & Craftsmanship: Metal construction with a distressed golden/brass-toned surface. Decorative ribbed detailing around the candle sockets enhances its vintage character.
- Dimensions: Fully extended length approx. 88 cm (34.65 in); height 16 cm (6.30 in); depth between the two candle holders approx. 19 cm (7.48 in).
- Condition: Vintage condition with visible wear, oxidation, surface marks and losses to the finish consistent with age and use. These signs of ageing contribute to its authentic patina. Please examine the photographs carefully.
- Collectibility: A distinctive decorative object combining functionality with sculptural Mid-Century aesthetics. Ideal as a table centerpiece or atmospheric accent in a vintage, industrial or eclectic interior.
