ABOUT PRODUCTID 12324
This three-armed candelabrum by Quist, crafted in 1950s Germany, is an exemplar of late Art Deco design with clear modernist influences. Made of silver-plated brass, it features a cool, matte finish characteristic of the period. The form consists of two broad, arched arms and a rectangular base with softly rounded corners and a gently curved profile. Construction is robust, with visible joints where the arms meet the base, and seamlessly integrated candle holders. The design is minimalist, emphasizing clean lines and balanced proportions without unnecessary ornamentation. Subtle patina, minor scratches, and localized tarnishing on the holders and base edges testify to its vintage authenticity. The piece is in very good condition, with all elements original and no evidence of repairs.This candelabrum seems to echo the narrative of its era—when Art Deco’s decorative language gave way to the functional clarity of modernism. The silvery brass surface reflects postwar elegance and the restraint of fine mid-century craftsmanship, suggesting Quist’s deliberate shift from ornament to harmony and balance. Each of the three arms opens as an invitation to light; the geometric symmetry brings a sense of calm order, and the subtle patina marks the passage of time while retaining an air of refinement.The candelabrum can be used as a central accent on a dining table or sideboard, especially when paired with minimalist porcelain or glassware. It would suit mid-century modern interiors, where clean lines and metallic surfaces harmonize with warm wood and a neutral palette. Consider combining it with geometric placemats, simple table lamps, or a collection of ceramics to emphasize its modernist lineage and understated 1950s elegance.
