Description
An exceptional signed pair of monumental sculptural modernist candlesticks executed in solid cast bronze with a richly layered verdigris patina. Each piece is composed of stacked geometric forms"”alternating inverted pyramids and circular elements"”creating a totemic, architectural silhouette with strong Brutalist and late mid-century influence.
Substantial in both scale and construction, the pair weighs approximately 25 lbs total, providing excellent stability and a commanding, gallery-worthy presence. The oxidized green-blue patina enhances the sculptural relief and highlights the depth of the bronze casting throughout.
Unattributed studio work, likely European or American, circa 1970s.
