ABOUT PRODUCTID 9270
This mechanical candlestick by Föhl from the 1960s exemplifies German design in the spirit of space age and mid-century modern. The base is crafted from metal in an antique gold tone with a subtle satin finish, displaying an architectural structure of stacked, ringed segments. The surface reveals a deliberate patina and fine speckling, enhancing its vintage character. The spherical glass globe, 14 cm in diameter, sits securely atop the base; the entire piece stands 27 cm tall with a base diameter of 10.5 cm. Inside the globe is an unused white candle, supported by a functioning mechanism that raises the candle as it burns, creating the illusion of an 'endless' flame. The candlestick's proportions are balanced, and its construction is notably heavy and stable. Condition is excellent: no damage to glass or metal, all components original, with no signs of restoration. This candlestick tells the story of the 1960s, an era when fascination with technology and space exploration permeated everyday objects. The mechanism, which gives the impression of a perpetual candle, evokes the spirit of a time when design sought new solutions and surprised with innovation. The metal base recalls rocket and satellite structures, while the perfectly spherical glass globe suggests a vision of the future where geometry and ingenuity intersect with daily luxury. As a true time capsule, the piece conjures images of an era filled with optimism and belief in progress. The candlestick may be placed on a low, dark
