ABOUT PRODUCTID 14600
This large modernist candle holder from 1970s Germany is crafted from patinated brass and matte black painted metal. The construction features a robust, tripod base formed from embossed sheet metal, supporting a flat, circular top with distinctive radial etchings and geometric patterns—a hallmark of late-century decorative metalwork. The central brass spike is designed to hold a large candle and stands in deliberate contrast to the darker base. The edges of the base display subtle abrasions and a darkened patina, naturally developed with age, affirming the object's authentic vintage origin. With no visible screws and a seamless attachment to the round plate, the form is visually monolithic and geometric, balancing utilitarian function with decorative presence in the tradition of modernism and Brutalist style. The piece is in good condition, showing normal signs of age and use, with no structural defects and an authentic patina typical for original vintage items. The candle holder’s sharply defined silhouette and honest material presence give voice to the late modernist era. Its brass tone echoes a time when metal was both substance and message—each scratch and area of darkening recording decades of history, contained in a minimalist yet visually commanding object. The bold interplay of golden brass and deep black conjures the spirit of the age, when everyday objects embraced industrial courage and geometric clarity as intrinsic virtues. It introduces an architectural accent wherever a strong statement is needed—ideally displayed on a low solid wood sideboard or surrounded by simple matte ceramics and glassware. It pairs well with minimalist interiors inspired by mid-century modern, or more raw, industrial spaces featuring concrete and steel elements. Combining it with textiles of pronounced texture can heighten the sense of tactile contrast and underscore the matte black base against the soft, ambient candlelight.
