Description from the seller

Large Mid-Century Brutalist Brass Candlestick – Germany, 1960s/1970s - H30cm/ 2,3 Kg

Unique XL Mid-Century Modern Brutalist Brass Design Candle Holder
Country of origin: Germany (East German / DDR arts and crafts)
Period: ca. 1960 - 1970
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Brutalism / Modernism

This impressive, monumental candle holder is a stunning example of high-quality metalwork from the 1960s/1970s. The solid cylindrical base features a unique, characteristic etched and hammered Brutalist pattern resembling an organic or cellular grid structure. This contrast between the clean, minimalist brass and the raw, dark texture gives the piece a highly sculptural and powerful character.
The top features a very wide, slightly flared drip pan with a sharp central spike, perfectly designed to securely hold large pillar or altar candles.

Specifications & Dimensions:
• Height: 30 cm
• Drip pan diameter: 21.5 cm
• Weight: 2.3 kg (very heavy, solid quality)
• Material: Solid brass

Condition:
The candle holder is in excellent vintage condition with a beautiful, authentic aged patina on the brass that enhances its Brutalist character. No structural flaws or dents. Please see the photos for an accurate impression of your own; they form an integral part of the description.

This rare and heavy design piece is an absolute eye-catcher in any vintage, industrial, or modern interior.
