About the Item

A pair of post modern artist made copper candle sticks from the 1980s. The copper has a warm patina that complements the sleek lines and shapes. Each holder is made of a tall, cylindrical copper tube with a slanted top. There isa great architectural quality to the design. The candlesticks are supported by triangular metal bases, also in copper. The most notable design feature is the wire stands that curve in a wavy, almost organic shape, adding a playful, dynamic contrast to the more rigid, geometric structure of the copper tubes. The variation in height between the two candlesticks enhances their asymmetrical, sculptural appeal, which is typical of post-modern aesthetics—combining function with a sense of art and unconventional form. Unsigned. 1980s.
