Pair of Italian Brass and Lucite Candlesticks, 1960s

Description

In 1960s Italy, the interplay between traditional materials and innovative designs gave rise to objects that were both decorative and meticulously crafted. This pair of candlesticks perfectly illustrates this quest for balance and modernity. Made in the 1960s, these lamps combine a base and neck in gilded brass with a central stem in clear lucite, creating a subtle interplay between opacity and transparency. The proportions are slender, the design understated, with an elegant presence that fits equally well in a mid-century or contemporary interior. The craftsmanship is meticulous, with well-fitted parts and a consistent finish.

The overall condition is very good. The brass has a soft and even patina, without excessive oxidation, while the lucite is clear and well preserved, without any noticeable cracks or dents. A refined decorative set, ideal for structuring a space and bringing a touch of 1960s Italian design, as elegant lit as in its sculptural state.
