Wall candlesticks

This pair of wall-mounted candlesticks in brass was produced by Colseth in Norway during the 1960s, embodying the principles of Scandinavian modern design. Each candlestick features a circular, slightly convex brass backplate intended to reflect and amplify the candlelight. The candleholder itself is a simple cylindrical form, seamlessly integrated into the lower section of the backplate, creating a clean and cohesive design.

The brass surfaces have developed a natural patina over time, with subtle variations in tone and texture that enhance the objects’ aged character and authenticity. This aging process contributes to the visual warmth and depth of the material, highlighting the candlesticks’ original craftsmanship.

Colseth was a notable Norwegian manufacturer known for producing brassware, including lighting and decorative objects, during the mid-20th century. Their work is characterized by functional, minimalistic forms, simple geometric shapes, and the use of high-quality materials. These candlesticks reflect that aesthetic through their understated yet sculptural design, which prioritizes material integrity and refined craftsmanship.

Each candlestick measures 25 cm in width, 10 cm in depth, and 25 cm in height (9.8 x 3.9 x 9.8 inches). The brass shows signs of age such as surface oxidation and patina, consistent with their vintage origin and contributing to their distinctive character.
