This triple candle holder, crafted by Expertic DDR in East Germany in the 1950s, is exemplified by its mid-century modern aesthetics. The structure features a slender base made from solid brass with a softly matte, warm golden tone, and a subtly textured finish. Its defining elements are three round candle plates, each hand-enameled – starting with white at the edge, blending into cobalt and deep blue hues towards the center in an organic, marbled pattern. Each plate is equipped with a brass peg to securely hold a candle. The elongated base (30 cm long and just 5 cm in height), with its low, trapezoidal geometry, is lightly elevated by a single, central, cylindrical stem, giving the object an architectural, floating lightness. The interplay of enamel detailing and the glow of brass forms a considered chromatic composition—the cool navy tones contrasting with the warmth of the metal. The original manufacturer's label is present. The candle holder is preserved in excellent, original condition, with no visible signs of wear or enamel loss—retaining crisp detail and vibrant coloration. This candle holder reflects the spirit of postwar German modernism, when the quest for new forms was interwoven with a drive for restraint and precision. The austerity of brass is softened by the organic, slightly irregular enamel design, suggesting a dialogue between architectural discipline and artistic freedom. The straightforward yet dynamic profile and the tricolor, enameled
