An early example of Viennese Art Nouveau bronze, this poetic candlestick features a reclining figure gently curled around the candleholder, a poppy flower resting in one hand. Symbolism, introspection, and subtle eroticism converge in a piece that reflects the dreamlike, introspective world of Jugendstil. Marked "Gurschner" and "G 111."
