About the Item
Brass Fish Candleholder by F. Abela & Sons, Malta – Mid-Century Handcrafted Design
Single brass candleholder in the shape of a stylized fish, handcrafted by F. Abela & Sons, Malta. Likely produced in the mid-20th century, this sculptural piece reflects the company’s tradition of finely worked brass objects inspired by local Mediterranean iconography. The fish form is symbolic in both Maltese folk culture and maritime heritage, rendered here with bold curves and a warm natural patina.
F. Abela & Sons was a family-run metalwork atelier based in Malta, known for producing decorative brassware and ecclesiastical items throughout the 20th century. Their pieces are now sought after for their quality, charm, and cultural resonance.
A rare collectible object—both functional and decorative—this candleholder works beautifully on its own or as part of a curated coastal, nautical, or eclectic interior. A unique piece of Maltese craftsmanship.
