Art Deco Bronze Candelabra Pair by Karl Hagenauer, 1930s

A pair of sculptural candelabra attributed to Karl Hagenauer. Each piece features a dynamic human figure cast in bronze, depicted in a pushing posture. These elongated and highly stylized forms are characteristic of the Werkstätte Hagenauer's production, reflecting their distinctive synthesis of modernist geometry and reductive figuration. The figures hold a curved metal structure culminating in two bronze candle holders. The composition rests on a square base, emphasizing structural simplification and the contrast of materials between the bronze and metallic elements.
