1980s Unique Art Nouveau Candelabra – Hand-Forged Wrought Iron – Organic Rose Sculpture Up for auction is an authentic, one-of-a-kind piece of Polish Metalwork from the 1980s. This monumental candelabra is a stunning fusion of Art Nouveau (Secession) elegance and raw Brutalist craftsmanship. It is not a mass-produced item, but a unique studio-made object. Details: • Era: 1970s / 1980s • Style: Art Nouveau / Organic / Brutalist • Material: Heavy Magnetic Wrought Iron Dimensions: • Width: 34 cm (at the widest point) • Height: 26 cm • Rose length: 28 cm • Candle holder diameter: 5 cm Art Nouveau Soul & Design: The design is a clear tribute to the Organic Art Nouveau movement. The candelabra is shaped like a natural, wild rose branch. The centerpiece is a magnificent, handmade 28cm rose. Each petal was individually hand-cut from steel and shaped with precision, giving the flower a "living" presence. Its asymmetrical, flowing lines (34cm wide) make it a striking botanical sculpture even when not holding candles. Craftsmanship & Technique: The authenticity of this piece is highlighted by its raw, artisanal construction: • Welding as Art: The visible welding points are a deliberate characteristic of Polish artisan metalwork of the era. They prove the manual, non-industrial process of creation. • Bead Welding: The thick branch (24 cm) features a unique texture mimicking tree bark, achieved through a labor-intensive welding technique where layers of molten metal are applied to create an organic, rugged surface. • No Signature: In the context of Polish artisan workshops of the 70s and 80s, unique "one-off" pieces were rarely signed, as they were often custom commissions or experimental works by master blacksmiths. Condition & Authenticity: The candelabra remains in its original, unrestored state. Localized points of rust on the leaves and base, along with delicate traces of time, serve as a "certificate of age." These natural aging markers confirm it is an authentic vintage object, not a modern imitation. Shipping: I take full responsibility for the safety of this unique item. It will be sent via Professional Secure Shipping. I use a double-box system, custom padding for every delicate leaf, and high-quality filler to ensure the candelabra arrives in perfect condition.
