Description from the seller
Vintage Mid-Century Modern 'Boomerang' X-Frame Candelabrum – H. & A. Schlaak (Attributed) – 1950s/1960s
Description:
Offered is an iconic and supremely elegant wooden design candelabrum from the Mid-Century Modern period (1950s/1960s). This organically shaped two-headed model, commonly referred to in the trade as the 'Boomerang' or 'X-frame' candelabrum, is widely attributed to the renowned German manufacturer/designers H. & A. Schlaak.
The design is a masterwork of sculptural and biomorphic minimalism. Two gracefully curved, solid wood arms cross each other in a perfectly balanced X shape and flow smoothly into the feet. The top features two organically shaped trays with wooden spikes to securely hold taper candles or dinner candles.
This rare two-headed model is a stunning example of Scandinavian and European organic modernism and serves as an absolute eye-catcher in any modern, vintage, or Japandi interior.
