This 1970s Russian vintage copper candle holder, referencing the style of Bjorn Wiinblad, exemplifies decorative art with a blend of modernist and Brutalist influences. The figure rests on a conical, robust dress crafted from hammered copper, its surface presenting a dark, charcoal-copper patina that dramatically contrasts the smoother, polished torso and arms. The angular, outstretched arms support two flat, dish-like candle platforms, each subtly detailed with linear accents and circular motifs. The head is topped by a tall, triangular headdress with cut-out circles and dangling earrings, further enriched by etched and stamped patterns on both the sleeves and crown. Visible soldered joints and hand-wrought seams punctuate the artisanal, workshop character, while the weight and presence of copper emphasize authenticity in mid-century decorative sculpture. The sculptural form and hand-finished surfaces make this piece a distinctive accent from the era. Condition: preserved in excellent, near-original state, showing only minor age-related patination and no visible damages.
