Mid-20th Century – Great Find – Collector’s Item 

Mid-Century European Futurism – Minimalist Chrome Candle Holder

Origin:

A striking mid-century chrome-on-brass candle holder crafted in the late 1960s to early 1970s, likely European in origin. Its tripod “rocket-leg” form embodies the futuristic design language of the Space-Age movement — a period defined by streamlined metallic shapes, aerospace inspiration, and sculptural silhouettes. This piece recalls the aesthetic of Dansk, Pierre Forssell, and Scandinavian metalwork studios known for merging function with bold artistic geometry.

Condition:

Very good vintage condition with light patina and age-appropriate wear to the chrome surface, enhancing its authenticity and mid-century character. Structurally sturdy, balanced, and ready for use or display.

Size:

• Height: ~13–15 cm
  

Details:

This sculptural candle holder features three elongated, tapered chrome legs radiating from a central cone, creating a dynamic tripod stance reminiscent of retro rocket forms. The polished metal surface interacts beautifully with light, casting dramatic shadows and reflections. Whether used as a functional candle holder or displayed as a standalone design object, it brings a bold mid-century presence to any room.

Its clean geometry and futuristic silhouette make it ideal for modern interiors, Scandinavian minimalism, or collectors of 1960s/1970s Space-Age decor. Works beautifully alone or paired with other chrome and brass objects.

Perfect for:

• Mid-century modern & Space-Age interiors
• Chrome/metal decor collectors
• Entry tables, coffee tables, and shelves
• Minimalist or sculptural home styling
