Splendid and rare pair of art deco danish candlesticks, model number 1770, designed by the renowned sculptor and silversmith just andersen during the 1930s.these highly collectible pieces are masterfully crafted from "disko metal", an exclusive and innovative lead-antimony alloy invented and patented by andersen himself, named after the disko bay in greenland. The alloy features its gorgeous, untouched dark bronze-brown original patina from the period, which highlights the sculptural qualities of the design.the candlesticks perfectly embody the refined, clean aesthetic of scandinavian art deco and nordic modernism. Their design stands out for the elegant, sweeping curved geometric lines that form a stylized arch, anchored by a prominent central decorative sphere and resting on a sturdy, stepped octagonal base.both pieces are fully authenticated and stamped underneath the base with the artist's official hallmark: "just andersen danmark" along with the model number "1770".a magnificent, museum-quality set with a powerful visual impact, perfect as a sophisticated decorative statement on a contemporary sideboard, mantel, or dining table.
