Description from the seller
Pair of Sculptural Vintage Candleholders – Brass, Copper and Iron – Brutalist Style – 1960s/70s
Pair of vintage decorative candleholders with a sculptural, geometric design, inspired by the modernist and brutalist styles of the 1960s and 1970s.
Each piece features an elegant, tilted candle cup in golden-tone metal with a hammered finish, resting on a spherical central element with coppery hues.
The set is supported by an openwork structure of three metal uprights forming a triangular stand, attached to a square base.
The contrast between the hammered surfaces with their golden and coppery reflections and the dark, patinated metal gives these objects an artisanal, sculptural character.
Features:
- Estimated period: 1960s–1970s, second half of the 20th century.
- Style: modernist, brutalist, vintage.
- Presumed materials: hammered brass, hammered copper and patinated iron.
- Colors: aged gold, rosy copper, dark brown and rust tones.
- Height: 27 cm each.
- Base dimensions: 12 × 12 cm.
- Quantity: 2 matching pieces.
- Origin and maker: unidentified.
Condition: Vintage condition, with an aged patina, signs of oxidation and marks of age, particularly visible on the structures and bases.
A pair of decorative objects with distinctive character, ideal for vintage or industrial décor, or for a collector’s interior featuring 20th-century furniture and objects.
Sold as a pair, as shown in the photographs.
