Description :

 mid-century modern brutalist three-arm candelabra showcasing a striking biomorphic design. Hand-forged and constructed from torch-cut, welded steel, the piece features an organic arrangement of fluid, ribbon-like tendrils that mimic natural forms such as sea kelp, waving reeds, or aquatic flora.

Three tiered, organic-edged bobeches rise gracefully at staggered heights from a heavy, square steel plate base. The raw, textured steel surface highlights beautiful tonal variations, giving the sculpture immense depth and architectural presence. This sculptural piece perfectly blends raw industrial metalwork with organic, fluid modernism. The base is clearly incised with a stylized artist signature.


Sculptural three-arm candle holder forged from raw-finish steel features twisting, flame-like forms that rise from a square base. The industrial silver surface reveals visible welding textures and a hand-signed artist mark “Z. Schichtel 1996” on its base. Each petal-shaped cup offers a dynamic, abstract silhouette complemented by light surface patina and subtle scuffs that enhance its vintage character.


Approximately 20" tall 9" across
