The surface features rich, tactile drip textures and a deep, aged patina accented with touches of natural verdigris. Designed with metal spikes to accommodate taper or pillar candles, the heavy, sculptural forms are equally compelling when displayed on their own. Their graduated sizes create strong visual rhythm when grouped on a console, dining table, or mantle. Substantial in weight and presence, these candleholders make a bold design statement in any interior.

Collector’s Note:
These bronze candleholders embody the raw materiality and expressive form central to the American Studio Craft movement of the 1960s and ’70s. Their molten drip textures and sculptural heft echo the aesthetics of Brutalist design, often associated with names like Paul Evans, who blurred the line between furniture and sculpture. While unsigned, the craftsmanship suggests the hand of a skilled metal artist working in the tradition of mid-century modernist studios.
