Modern More Candle Holders

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Vintage Italian leaf and roses design Hollywood Regency style gilt gold tole metal Candle holder, candelabra. Vintage Midcentury gilt metal sculpture of branches with leaves and flowers. Midcentury Hollywood Regency style Italian gilt metal candle holder with 5 roses made to hold candles, 10 more roses. A stunning, Italian made candle holder by German manufacturer and designer Hans Kögl (Koegl/Kogl), circa 1960. "Made in Italy" metal tag attached. DIMENSIONS: 14ʺW × 14ʺD × 16ʺH, base is 8" D. Hans Kögl was famous for his light and table designs incorporating natural organic forms such as palm tree leaves and sheafs of bound wheat. His designs were produced in both Germany and Italy alike. A very special piece of design which still feel timeless and fit perfectly in any interior design where warmth, opulence or simply organic forms are needed and, of course, perfect for any Hollywood Regency interior with its gold gilded metalwork. Materials: Gilt metal. Italy, circa 1960s. Handcrafted in Italy for Hans Kogl Hans. Kögl Furniture While little has been written about German furniture designer Hans Kogl, his work speaks for itself.Kögl drew frequently on natural forms such as wheat sheafs, florentine flowers and wisteria in designing sculptural lighting Fixtures, tables and various decorative objets. His better known work was manufactured in Germany and Italy during the 1970s and 1980s, although some pieces date back to the 1950s.Kögl’s vintage gilt metal lamps and sophisticated table bases capture nature in a way that is beyond simple lifelike imitation — the handcrafted works’ copper and gold-plated leaves and other flora, free and elegant, demand a double-take to fully appreciate the designer’s profound attention to detail.Some of Kögl’s 1970s-era textured palm tree floor lamps, which are playful and striking and bear the hallmarks of the Hollywood Regency style, stand over six feet tall. And when coupled with his unique glass-topped coffee tables, which also draw heavily on organic forms in their decorative gilt leaf bases, the fixtures can help bring the outdoors into a living room in a manner that feels simultaneously luxurious and provocative.Collectors and enthusiasts of early 20th century furniture will find much appeal in Kögl’s sconces...
