{"product_id":"brutalist-cast-metal-candlestick-09158","title":"Brutalist Cast Metal Candlestick, Patinated and Gilt Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrutalist metalwork of the 1960s and 70s favored rough, hand-textured surfaces and sculptural, asymmetric silhouettes over the smooth polish of earlier decorative metalwork — candlesticks in particular became a popular form for the style, since a single tall stem gave a maker plenty of room to work a heavily textured, almost molten-looking surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis candlestick follows that idiom closely: a tall, tapering stem in a heavily textured cast metal finish, opening into a wide drip-catching cup at the top and standing on a splayed tripod-style base. Both a patinated dark finish and gilt highlights run across the surface. It is offered as brutalist in style; no foundry mark or hallmark is visible in the photographs provided to confirm the metal as bronze specifically, so it is described here as cast metal. The deeply pitted, bark-like surface on a piece like this isn't a casting flaw — it's usually the result of a mold taken from a roughly worked wax or clay original, a technique brutalist metalworkers used deliberately so that every surface stays irregular, meaning no two pieces from the same mold ever catch candlelight quite the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is good overall. The piece has clearly been well kept, and now moves forward to a new setting. Well suited to a dining table, a mantel, or a console, either on its own or paired with a second for symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 17 cm tall and weighing 765 grams, it has real heft in the hand for its size — consistent with a solid cast piece rather than a hollow or lightweight casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: 17 cm high (6.7 in)\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 765 grams (1.7 lb)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: patinated and gilt cast metal\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: brutalist, offered as 1960s\/70s\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide — we handle the paperwork, with all import duties paid by us; nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good overall\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59590089343321,"sku":"LM-V-237","price":489.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8572974314_ge3k.jpg?v=1790423954","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/brutalist-cast-metal-candlestick-09158","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
