Its provenance is specific: the object bears the distinctive engraving "c.n.g.t. 1er prix vincennes 1978," confirming its role as the first place prize of the circuit national des grands tournois (cngt), a major national tennis circuit in france, at the 1978 vincennes event. This unique history is an integral part of the piece. It belongs to tallon's sophisticated line for ravinet d'enfert in the 1970s. The structure comprises three robust cylindrical supports resting on circular bases. These are connected by a curved central piece of silver-plated metal, creating a dynamic and architectural silhouette. The silver-plated metal displays an authentic patina befitting its age, enhancing the crisp, elegant lines of its form. The three cylindrical sections are designed to hold candles. Its robust construction and precise metalwork align with the late mid-century aesthetic, emphasizing geometric simplicity and material quality. The surface displays light marks and original wear, maintaining its authentic vintage character. This piece has an attribution mark,
