Product description
This is a Mid-Century pricket candlestick, executed in solid brass with a distinct Brutalist character. Its sculptural, organic form is emblematic of the Scandinavian Modern design movement, which favoured raw materials and strong silhouettes.
Crafted from cast brass, the piece has a substantial weight and a textured, hand-finished surface that highlights its golden tones. It stands 10 cm tall with a base diameter of approximately 7 cm, making it a compact yet impactful decorative object. The design features a central void, creating a dynamic interplay of solid and negative space, typical of Brutalist aesthetics.
The candlestick is in good vintage condition, retaining its original finish. The surface displays a developing patina consistent with its age, which contributes to its authentic character and historical appeal. The pricket spike is designed to securely hold a pillar or church candle.
With its strong architectural presence, this candle holder is well-suited for a sideboard, mantelpiece, or as a centrepiece on a dining table. It complements interiors ranging from Mid-Century Modern and Scandinavian to more eclectic and contemporary spaces.
- Highly collectible piece, as seen on Pamono.
- Carefully cleaned in an ultrasonic bath and sealed with premium Renaissance micro-crystalline wax to protect the natural warm patina and metal finish.
