Hand-forged Brutalist candle holder “Tree of Life” from the 1960s/70s
An exceptional sculptural candle holder in the style of European Brutalism. Its organically curved form is reminiscent of a tree of life with intertwined branches and asymmetrically arranged candle plates. Every detail conveys the craftsmanship of traditional blacksmithing and lends the object a strong, almost architectural presence.
Crafted from wrought iron or steel with a dark patina, the piece exudes both rustic charm and modernity. Its expressive lines make the candlestick a striking decorative object that complements both mid-century modern and Wabi-Sabi, Gothic, or Brutalist interiors.
This object is not just a candle holder, but a freestanding metal sculpture with a fascinating lighting effect when several candles are lit.
