Description from the seller
They are two large modernist brass candelabras from the first half of the 20th century, and they showcase that stylized, fluid, and elegant language that defined the more refined branch of decorative modernism. Their presence is bold, but not heavy: the golden metal, worked with clean lines and soft curves, creates a vertical silhouette that opens in an almost organic gesture.
The six arms, long and stylized, unfold with a harmony very characteristic of the era. They do not seek Baroque exuberance nor classical rigidity: they arch naturally, like metal stems that rise and separate with a serene rhythm. Each arm ends in its candle holder, creating a luminous crown that, when lit, should offer a play of warm lights on the golden brass.
The central body, firm and well-proportioned, supports the structure with balance. The brass finish — warm, slightly aged, with that deep gleam that metals worked with quality acquire — reinforces the sense of a noble piece, designed for elegant interiors, modernist salons or contemporary spaces that seek a historical accent without falling into excessive ornamentation.
Overall, they are candelabras that combine visual lightness, craftsmanship, and presence, perfect for those who appreciate modernism in its more sober and refined version.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
