This candleholder, crafted in Germany in the 1960s, unites copper and lacquered steel in a balanced, modernist composition.

Substantial in weight and precisely made, the candleholder features smooth joins and restrained geometry: minimalist by design, its form is defined by clear lines and meticulous metalwork. Condition: very good, with only minor, age-appropriate surface wear typical of authentic vintage metalware.
