Product description
Brutalist Candle holder made of hand-forged iron – two-piece
An extraordinary, hand-forged Candle holder made of solid iron with an archaic yet sculptural appearance.
Its organically shaped, bowl-like base and the curved, separately crafted handle form a sophisticated two-piece construction. The two elements are simply inserted into each other and find their own balance through their design. This allows the Candle holder not only to be placed but also to be picked up by the handle and easily moved around.
Particularly appealing is the interplay between the almost archaic appearance of the forged iron and the surprisingly well-thought-out construction. The irregular surfaces, the dark patina, and the deliberately asymmetrical design give the object a distinctive sculptural presence.
Stylistically, the piece can be assigned to the Brutalism movement and modern craftsmanship. Its formal language also recalls organic, almost archaic object art of the second half of the 20th century.
A self-contained object that functions both as a functional Candle holder and as a small iron sculpture. Particularly beautiful in minimalist, modern interiors, but also as a deliberate contrast to historical furniture, natural materials, and a restrained decor.
Age: Presumably second half of the 20th century.
Condition: Very good condition. The handle has a slight play when inserted due to its construction. The two-piece, not firmly connected design is part of the original construction principle.
