Pair of brutalist hammered aluminium candlesticks, 1970s

In this listing, you will find a striking pair of large Brutalist candlesticks, made of hammered aluminium, dating from the 1960s–1970s. These sculptural pieces are defined by their bold architectural construction and richly textured surfaces. Each candlestick features a wide circular plate at the top with a central spike, supported by a series of curved and tapered legs that create a dynamic and almost organic structure. The hand-hammered finish gives the aluminium a tactile and irregular surface, capturing light in a way that enhances both depth and movement. The design balances raw materiality with a sense of rhythm and remarkably refined proportions, characteristic of mid-century European Brutalist metalwork. The interaction between the hammered and striated textures adds visual complexity, while the matte silver finish reinforces their sculptural presence. With a generous diameter of 23 cm, these candlesticks are notably larger than typical examples, making them very impressive as centrepieces or decorative objects, even when not in use. A captivating pair that functions both as functional objects and sculptural forms — ideal for interiors that embrace Brutalist, modernist, or collectible design.
