Pair of Mid-20th Century Brutalist Candlesticks
These mid-20th century American Brutalist candlesticks showcase a striking blend of artistry and raw architectural aesthetics. Each candlestick features an exaggerated zigzag body, intricately carved to create a highly textured surface. The unique design is complemented by stylized floral candle cups, expertly crafted to hold pillar candles. Cantilevered arms extend dramatically, seemingly defying gravity as they elevate the candles above the tabletop, creating a captivating visual effect.
Reflecting the core principles of Brutalist design, these candlesticks emphasize rawness and structural honesty. The exposed, unrefined wood highlights the natural beauty of the material, while the bold, geometric forms echo the architectural movement's focus on functionality and stark, unembellished surfaces. These candlesticks are not merely functional objects but stand as sculptural pieces, embodying the Brutalist ethos of embracing the rough and rugged to achieve a powerful aesthetic impact.
