Overview
An exceptional, seven-light candlestick made of solid bronze from the Mid-Century era. Designed by Michael Harjes for Harjes Metallkunst in Germany (circa 1960s).
Made using the traditional sand-casting method, this piece perfectly embodies the Brutalist aesthetic. Its organic, branching structure and distinctive, rough surface texture give it an imposing, sculptural presence – whether on the mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table.
