Brutalist iron candlestick, 1950s

This wrought iron candlestick embodies the aesthetic of the brutalist style of the 1950s. Its sculptural silhouette and architectural appearance make it a characterful piece, representative of the design of this era where raw materials are celebrated. Entirely made of iron, this decorative object features a deep black finish that highlights its clean lines. The structure rests on a tripod base with delicately curled ends, contrasting with the strict verticality of the central shaft. The latter is adorned with a decorative ring and ends with a wide flat dish equipped with a spike, designed to hold and stabilise a large candle. The whole is in excellent condition, attesting to the robustness of its design. The natural patina of the metal adds an authentic dimension to the piece, preserving its structural integrity and original charm without major alteration.
