Product description
This sculptural and modernist candlestick, attributed to the French designer Roger Tallon for Ravinet d'Enfert, is a notable piece of design. Its provenance is specific: the object bears the distinct engraving, "C. N. G. T. 1ER PRIX VINCENNES 1978," confirming its role as the First Prize award for the Circuit National des Grands Tournois (CNGT), a premier national tennis circuit in France, at the Vincennes event in 1978. This unique history is integral to the piece. It is part of Tallon's sophisticated line for Ravinet d'Enfert in the 1970s. The structure is composed of three sturdy cylindrical supports resting on circular bases. These are connected by a central curved silver-plated metal piece that creates a dynamic, architectural silhouette. The silver-plated metal features an authentic patina consistent with its age, enhancing the sharp, sleek lines of its form. The three cylindrical sections are designed to hold candles. Its robust construction and precise metalworking align with the late Mid-Century aesthetic, emphasizing geometric simplicity and material quality. The surface shows light marks and original wear, maintaining its authentic vintage character.
