Viewed from above, the intersecting rings create a sculptural flower-like geometry, giving the piece a powerful architectural presence.
its unusually elaborate ten-light configuration distinguishes it from the smaller brass candelabra more commonly encountered from this period. The five-ring construction creates a different visual composition from every angle: rhythmic and architectural from the side, almost floral when viewed from above.
each candle holder is individually shaped like a stylized tulip bud with a four-petal rim. This delicate organic detail contrasts beautifully with the bold circular structure, creating an uncommon balance between geometric rigor and decorative elegance.
with its substantial weight of 1.16 kg and generous 28 cm diameter, this is not merely a functional candleholder but a commanding piece of collectible table sculpture. It is particularly suited to collectors and interiors seeking an expressive and less conventional example of mid-century brasswork.
the candelabra makes a striking focal point on a dining table, console, coffee table or sideboard. Even when displayed without candles, its intricate radial construction and warm brass surface give it the presence of a freestanding sculptural object.
designed for ten slim taper or chime candles measuring approximately 0.6 cm in diameter.
a distinctive choice for an interior in which the candleholder is intended to become the visual centerpiece rather than a secondary decorative accessory.
condition
excellent vintage condition, consistent with age and use. The original unpolished brass surface displays a warm natural patina, with minor oxidation and traces of age particularly visible around some of the artisan joints. These characteristics have been intentionally preserved as part of the object’s authentic vintage appearance.
