Handcrafted in the 1960s, this rare and distinctive piece reinterprets the traditional French candelabra in a bold mid-century, almost brutalist style. Formed from glazed ceramic, it features a plinth base which supports five sweeping, interconnected curved tubes, each designed to hold a candle. The fluid, freeform structure and irregular lines make this a striking and rare example of Vallauris pottery. Finished in a rich duo of fuchsia pink and deep brown, the glazes merge organically, creating a dramatic contrast of tones reminiscent of oil and water. The front of the piece is signed 'Vallauris’ and it comes in very good condition for its age and use. A unique centrepiece for a dining table or mantel, bringing both sculpture and colour to your space. Dimensions: 40 cm wide, 12 cm deep, 24 cm tall.
