A striking pair of modernist glass candlesticks, each formed with a continuous looped structure composed of applied solid glass spheres, terminating in three raised candle cups. The clear, slightly smoky glass has a soft optical depth and a pleasing weight, with polished bases providing stability.
The sculptural, rhythmic form is strongly reminiscent of Murano design of the post-war period, drawing on biomorphic and modular aesthetics popular in Italian glassmaking from the 1960s–1970s. Designed to be appreciated both as functional objects and as decorative sculptural pieces.
Unmarked, as typical for many decorative glassworks of this type.
Condition:
Very good overall condition. Minor surface wear and light scratches consistent with age and use. No visible chips or cracks observed.
