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.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Very good vintage condition. Structurally solid and stable with no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The bronze surfaces exhibit natural patina variation, oxidation, and minor surface wear consistent with age and use. Subtle rubbing at high points and within the candle cups is present, as expected, and contributes to the sculptural character. No structural issues or damage noted.
