This 1960s candleholder, designed in the style of Carl Auböck, exemplifies German mid-century modernism, where structure follows function and visual balance. The piece is made entirely of metal: the main body in warm, polished brass with a medium gold tone, subtly complemented by aluminum elements. Three slender, gracefully arched arms radiate symmetrically from a central intersection, each terminating in a shallow, spherical cup for a single candle. The node where the arms meet is accented with a tightly wound black cord—this detail not only organizes the composition, but also reflects the refined approach typical of mid-century modern design. The metallic surface is smooth and reflective, displaying gentle patina and minor traces of age consistent with its vintage heritage. The absence of visible joints or hardware speaks to skilled manufacturing. The lightly curved feet lend lightness and harmonious proportion to the overall silhouette. Condition: excellent, with only minimal, barely visible traces of use typical for pieces of this era.
The candleholder echoes the spirit of the 1960s, when German modernism embraced a calm dialogue between simplicity and sculptural expression. The balanced lines of its arms and discreet golden reflections suggest a quiet meeting of utilitarian art and the rituals of daily life. Indifferent to fleeting fashions, it seems to whisper of home evenings when candlelight dances across brass, setting the pace for tranquil conversation.
It can be placed at the edge of a low sideboard in the living room, harmonizing equally well with minimalist glassware or curated mid-century
