Vintage XL floor candlestick by Fritz Nagel for BMF, 1970s

A pair of tall-footed candlesticks designed in the 1960s by Fritz Nagel in collaboration with the architect/artist Werner Stoff. These chrome-plated metal candlesticks were manufactured by the German company BMF ( Bavarian Metalware Factory ). The design is known for its modular, creative form, which allows for various sculptural combinations by stacking or arranging multiple pieces. This lot is a beautiful example of such a sculpture, making it more of a work of art than a utilitarian object. The set consists of 24 candlesticks (21 freestanding, 3 mounted on a base), 1 bowl, and a tall pedestal. Because it's modular, it can be continuously reshaped or even expanded. All parts are in good condition with some light patina. The base also has a few small dents (see photo).
