Mid-Century Brass Triple Candleholder
Germany, c. 1950s
About This Piece
A sculptural mid-century candleholder in solid brass, composed of three flared candle cups arranged at varying heights. A slender central stem is framed by two sweeping curved arms, creating a balanced, almost calligraphic silhouette.
The branching form rises from a faceted geometric support and broad oval base, combining architectural precision with a softer sense of movement. Its asymmetrical spacing gives the piece visual interest from every angle while preserving a remarkably light and elegant profile.
The brass has developed a warm, naturally varied patina, with traces of age and use visible across the surface. These are retained as part of the candleholder’s character and give depth to its polished form.
Attributed to Germany and dating from the 1950s, it is both a functional candleholder and a striking decorative object, bringing height and sculptural presence to a dining table, mantel or console.
