An exceptional pair of vintage postmodern candlesticks defined by their striking, avant-garde silhouettes. Crafted from a heavy, pewter-toned metal with a soft brushed patina, each piece features a dramatic, intentional "zig-zag" bend in the stem, giving them a whimsical yet sophisticated, anthropomorphic character. The slender, fluted candle cups taper down into the architectural, crooked stems, balanced beautifully by weighted, tiered conical bases. Their commanding height and sculptural, surrealist profile make them a spectacular statement pair—perfect as an unexpected centerpiece on a dining table, an artistic mantel accent, or a standalone sculptural installation in a modernist interior.
Designer Unattributed / Vintage Artisan
Period Late 20th Century (Circa 1980s / 1990s)
Dimensions 12 cm Base Diameter x 36 cm H (Each)
Materials Pewter-Toned Metal (Likely Solid Cast Zinc Alloy or Brushed Pewter)
Condition Good Vintage Condition. The candlesticks exhibit a beautiful, authentic brushed finish with some age-appropriate surface wear and faint scuffs that add to their character. There are no structural bends beyond the intentional design, and both bases sit perfectly flat and stable. The candle wells are clean and ready for standard tapers.
