Description
Sculptural set of three vintage polished horn candlesticks in the style of Karl Springer. Organic modern forms crafted from natural horn with rich tonal variation, dating to the late 1970s-80s. Each piece features an organically curved, asymmetrical form with rich tonal variation ranging from warm amber to deep espresso brown, characteristic of genuine horn.
The sculptural silhouettes and refined material quality place these firmly in the tradition of high-end postmodern and organic modern design, closely aligned with pieces produced in the style of Karl Springer. The set includes two taller candlesticks and one shorter, heavier form, creating an intentionally varied and visually dynamic grouping.
Each candlestick is finished with a metal candle cup sized for standard tapers. The horn displays natural grain, translucency, and subtle tonal shifts, all consistent with vintage hand fabrication.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Very good vintage condition. Minor surface wear consistent with age. Some areas show shallow compression marks and fine surface fissuring inherent to natural horn, with no material loss, separation, or structural instability.
