silver candlestick

Small in size but exceptional in design, this vintage modernist candlestick was made in Italy by Gorham Maestri and dates approximately from the 1950s. This elegant little candlestick is made of high-quality silver-plated metal. It stands out for its particularly sculptural base, formed from a continuous tube with fluid lines. Its playful curves, looped foot, and vertical, streamlined candle holder create a remarkable silhouette, heavily influenced by Mid-Century Modern style, Bauhaus, and Italian modernism. Despite its compact dimensions, this piece has a true architectural presence. Its fluid, almost calligraphic shape brings movement and personality, while its polished silver finish adds elegance and refinement. It easily fits into both modern interiors and vintage decor. This candlestick is designed to hold a slim candle. It will be ideal on an intimate dinner table, a fireplace, a sideboard, a bedside table, or in a minimalist decorative arrangement. Please note that this listing is for a single candlestick. Style. Its design is both playful and sophisticated, featuring: A sculptural loop-shaped base. Fluid tubular curves. A tall, slender stem.
