About the Item
The Architecture of Light: A Set of Mid-Century Chrome and Brass Candlesticks,
1970s–80s
This striking set of seven candlesticks is a pure expression of Mid-Century Modern design, blending geometric form with a sophisticated mix of materials. Dating to the 1970s–80s, these pieces exemplify the era's fascination with clean lines, industrial materials, and a futuristic aesthetic. The contrast between the cool, reflective chrome and the warm, polished brass creates a visual tension that is both bold and elegant.
Each candlestick is a study in architectural form. The chrome base is a four-sided body with slab sides that narrow toward the top, resting on a sturdy, circular foot. This robust, sculptural form gives the pieces a monumental presence, reminiscent of urban skyscrapers or minimalist sculpture. Perched atop this chrome base is the candleholder, crafted from gleaming brass. It features a narrow central column that rises to a wide, circular drip pan, a practical detail that has been transformed into a key design element. The drip pan's diameter extends well beyond the width of the base, creating a visual balance that is both surprising and harmonious.
The set includes two distinct sizes, five larger and two slightly smaller, which allows for dynamic arrangement and a varied play of height and light. This grouping of multiple, similar objects creates a larger visual impact, a common practice in modern design. These candlesticks are more than just functional lighting fixtures; they are pieces of tabletop sculpture that reflect the design sensibilities of their time. They capture the essence of a period that valued simplicity, material integrity, and a bold, graphic approach to home decor.
Dimensions:
Large Size (5): 9 inches high x 3 1/2 inches wide at base; drip pan diameter 6 inches.
Smaller Size (2): 7 1/2 inches high x 2 3/4 inches wide at base; drip pan diameter 5 inches.
