Metal Candle Holder with Forged Copper Plates – Metalwork, Western Europe, 1970s/1980s
Handcrafted candle holder for 6 candles using the artistic metalwork technique. The base of bent and welded black steel rods is paired with beautifully hammered forged copper plates, creating a dynamic, fan-shaped form.
The design evokes the Brutalist aesthetic – the rawness of the metal, visible traces of hand-forging, and a craftsmanship character are combined with a geometric, rhythmic arrangement of arms. This is an example of artistic craftsmanship where functionality meets decorative expression.
Ideal for loft, vintage, boho, and mid-century modern interiors, as well as a collector's item of European Brutalist design from the late 1970s/early 1980s.
