Alessi - Paolo Portoghesi - Candlestick Tlemcen (2) - Silverplated

The Tlemcen candlestick was designed by Italian architect Paolo Portoghesi for the prestigious Italian design brand Alessi. The design is inspired by the elegant lines of Art Nouveau and the architectural forms of Islamic art, especially from the Algerian city of Tlemcen. The candlestick was produced in the late 20th century and represents Alessi's pursuit of combining functional design with artistic expression. This candlestick is particularly attractive to collectors of modern Italian design and lovers of Alessi products. The sculptural form and the high-quality finish make it a coveted decorative object that is both functional and aesthetically valuable. Collectors value the Tlemcen series for its unique architectural approach and the limited availability of vintage pieces on the current market.62
