This pair of table candlesticks, crafted from painted and patinated sheet metal in Germany during the 1980s, is a striking example of Memphis Group-inspired design. The forms are composed of bold geometric elements: a conical base, a slender cylindrical stem, and a wide, shallow cup, resulting in a dynamic yet harmoniously balanced silhouette. The surface features a cool, dark greenish-black base color, intentionally patinated with lighter green and turquoise tones to create an oxidized, slightly aged appearance. Brass-colored spherical accents at the junctions of the base, stem, and cup add a warm, metallic contrast and emphasize the postmodern interplay of materials. The matte finish, with hints of metallic sheen, highlights the precision and subtlety of the workmanship. Both candlesticks are tall and slender (32.5 and 28.5 cm), with well-proportioned, cohesive profiles. The condition is very good—patina is purposeful and no damage or restoration is visible. The listed price applies to the pair of candlesticks. These candlesticks evoke the spirit of the 1980s, when Memphis Group designers boldly experimented with color, form, and a playful irony. Their geometric construction and contrasting hues tell the story of an era that broke from modernist solemnity, favoring creative freedom and a sense of fun. The patinated surfaces and brass accents suggest a certain irreverence—
