Pair of hand candle holders in brass and wood, 1950

Elegant and rare vintage hand candlesticks (often referred to as "bugies"), featuring a refined Mid-Century Modern design. Each piece is a masterful combination of noble materials: the central stem made of solid wood, finely turned, is fixed between a base and a spool made of solid brass. The design recalls classic bedroom candlesticks thanks to the practical ring handle on the scalloped base, reinterpreted with the clean and formal lines typical of European design from the 1950s. The combination of the warm grain of the wood and the shine of the brass expresses a sophisticated aesthetic, perfect for both vintage and contemporary interiors. Technical details: Materials: Solid wood and solid brass Period: Circa 1950 Style: Mid-Century Modern / Scandinavian Design Dimensions: Height approx. 16 cm | Base diameter approx. 9.5 cm Authenticity mark: The original stamp "EF M5" is embossed on the base.
