This Brutalist candleholder from the 1970s is crafted from metal and finished with substantial silver plating, resulting in a predominantly matte, aged silver tone. Subtle areas of oxidized darkening and lighter, worn highlights complement the naturally textured surface and patina. The structure is based on a dynamic, geometric composition, with triangular motifs visible in both the three-legged base and the upper holder for the candle, all connected by a slender, tapering central column. Its monolithic form invokes the language of sculpture: there are no visible seams, joints, or decorative accessories—its deliberately coarse, rugged surface with raw casting marks fully embodies Brutalist aesthetics. The asymmetrical yet stable arrangement brings expressive energy, emphasizing a balance between technical precision and artistic intent. Condition: excellent for a vintage piece, showing delicate patina, minor local discolorations, and light scratches, but with no visible damage or deformation. This candleholder recalls the spirit of the 1970s—an era where raw materials and austere forms became a manifesto of authenticity and rebellion against conventional design tropes. Its surface tells its own story: the pitted texture and casting marks evoke fragments of architectural models, while the interplay of silver tones in partial shadow suggests the industrial influences of applied art at the time. Candlelight, reflected on the variable relief, scatters and diffuses, adding a layer of expressive, uncompromising simplicity. The piece can be paired with austere smoked-glass vases or ceramic containers in monochrome hues, and it fits perfectly atop minimalist sideboards or concrete
