2 x Postmodern brass hammered diabolo shaped candles, height 26 cm, 1970s

These are vintage diabolo-shaped brass pricket candlesticks, featuring a classic mid-century modern or Art Deco silhouette. The design is characterized by its hourglass or 'diabolo' flared cup, a rounded dome base, and an internal spike (pricket) to securely hold thick altar or pillar candles. The underside reveals an authentic vintage construction with heavy ballast plates and structural feet, which keep the weighted bases slightly elevated. Similar styles from the mid-20th century were often produced as church altar decorations or high-end European home accents. Height 26 cm, depth 16 cm, width 16 cm. Price is for the set of 2.
