A rare piece from the Italian Brutalist tradition: a solid brass candlestick, attributed to Giuseppe Gallo, known for his sculptural metalwork of the 1960s/70s.
The organically angular form, the relief-like structure, and the heavy materiality are typical of Gallo's work, which often exists between art object and functional decoration. The candle holder resembles a small metal sculpture that intensely models light and shadow.
A striking object for collectors of brutalist metal art, mid-century interiors, or as a solitary statement piece.
