This ensemble of five candlesticks exemplifies the Brutalist aesthetic in decorative arts, defined by raw materiality, sculptural form, and a rejection of ornament. Fashioned from cast iron, each candlestick embodies a rugged tactility and an emphasis on structural presence, hallmarks of the movement that emerged in the mid-20th century. Their irregular silhouettes and textural surfaces transform functional lighting into sculptural statements, reflecting the era’s fascination with elemental forms and industrial processes.
