A striking mid-century candelabrum with three sweeping arms rising from a sculptural tripod base, shaped more like a piece of abstract metalwork than a traditional candlestick. The fluid, asymmetrical curves give it a sense of movement, as if the form is gently unfurling upward.
Crafted from cast metal with a naturally aged patina, the surface carries soft variations in tone and texture that speak to decades of oxidation and handling. The organic shape, combined with its architectural balance, places it firmly in the tradition of mid-century studio metalwork, where functional objects were treated as small-scale sculpture.
Designed to hold three taper candles, it brings both height and atmosphere to a space, whether styled on a console, dining table or shelf. Even unlit, it reads as a sculptural object in its own right.
A rare piece that bridges Brutalist form and organic modernism.
