About the Item

A beautifully curated set of five modernist candleholders by renowned metalsmith Thomas Roy Markusen. Each signed piece exemplifies Markusen’s masterful hand-forging techniques and meticulous, hand-applied patination, resulting in unique textures, hues, and finishes that highlight the organic qualities of the metal. Designed to hold pillar candles of varying sizes, these candleholders also function effortlessly as standalone sculptural objects. Their dynamic forms and rich surface variations make them striking decorative accents—equally compelling whether illuminated by candlelight or displayed simply as art on a sideboard, mantel, or shelf. Collected over several years, this set offers a sophisticated and tactile expression of modernist metalwork, celebrating both craftsmanship and versatile beauty. Perfect for collectors and interiors that value artisanal character alongside functional elegance.
