Handmade vintage travertine candlestick from the 1970s in Italy.

This three-candle holder from the Mid-Century era originates from Italy and was made in the 1970s. Its design is distinguished by a sculptural crescent shape that gives an unexpected lightness to the solid travertine. The item is entirely made of beige travertine, a natural stone known for its characteristic porous texture. Three cylindrical recesses accommodate standard taper candles. The natural veining of the stone and its earthy tones enhance the organic aesthetic of the design. (Possibly Enzo Mari / without definitive attribution). The candle holder is in good vintage condition; the natural patina and typical surface characteristics of travertine reflect its history and give it an authentic character. A larger pore on the upper part of one of the arms is not damage but a natural feature of the stone, actually serving as a clear indicator of its age and artisanal authenticity. This sculptural home accessory fits perfectly into modern, minimalist, or Mid-Century inspired interiors. It makes an elegant statement on a sideboard, dining table, or console, beautifully harmonising with warm wood tones and other natural materials.
