Product description
Three silver plated candlesticks designed by renowned Italian designer Lino Sabattini and manufactured by Sabattini Argenteria. Crafted in Italy in the 1970s, signed on one side, all three are in good condition and these 1970s modernist silver-plated candlesticks would be a striking and elegant addition to any home decor. The candlesticks are made of high-quality silver-plated metal, with a sleek and shiny finish that reflects light beautifully. They have a minimalist and modern design, with clean lines and simple shapes that embody the essence of Mid - Century modern style. Each candelabra consists of two arms, each with a candelabra at the end, arranged in an asymmetrical pattern. The arms are slender and gracefully curved, creating a sense of movement and fluidity that adds to the overall elegance of the pieces. This minimalist design is timeless and versatile. This is a true design classic. Marked. Height maximum is 31 cm. The width maximum is 9.5 cm. The depth maximum is 13 cm The candlesticks have wear scratches on the bottom from standing on hard surfaces, you could possibly have that fixed , you won't see it when they are standing. The middle candlestick is not quite straight, but we dare not bend it, so it is now, as shown in the photos slightly narrower than the other two and slightly crooked. The prices on the net, (like etsy, where also 3 of these candlesticks are offered for 3000 euros are often around 800-1000 euros each. Lino Sabattini, 1925-2016 Lino Sabattini was the preeminent figure in modern Italian silver and metalware design. His expansive and diverse body of work is marked by its strength and boldness, whether in dynamic forms that suggest the thrust and power of Italian futurist design or light and curvaceous biomorphic seveware and decorative objects. Sabattini was largely self-taught as a designer. Born in the northern Italian town of Correggio, he learned metalsmithing techniques while working in the studio of a maker of brass tableware He also served as an apprentice of sorts to the expatriate German ceramist Roland Hettner, who taught Sabattini about fluidity of form and showed him how shapes derive from the behavior of materials. At age 30, Sabattini opened a studio in Milan, and his work quickly came to the attention of Gio Ponti, who decided to publish it in Domus, the Italian design legend's influential design and architecture magazine. Ponti also arranged for Sabattini's creations to be included in a 1956 exhibition of contemporary Italian design in Paris. The principals of Cristofle, the revered French silverware maker, were so impressed that they hired the young designer as the firm's artistic director, a post he held until 1963. Sabattini, who would also go on to design ceramic wares for Rosenthal, returned home to open Argeneria Sabattini in Bregnano, a company still in business today. A designer with a questing curiosity and ever-evolving aesthetic sensibility, Sabattini couldn't be pinned down to one particular style. His best-known work, the Como coffee and tea service of 1956, has an elegant, attenuated and energetic form; his Stairs coffee and tea service (1971), meanwhile, is a clever group of simple columnar shapes in stepped heights, which nest together in a compact arrangement. Other Sabattini pieces have dramatic angles, or sweeping, wing-like flourishes, or consist of perforated ovoids somehow reminiscent of Sculptures by Brancusi. In any style, Sabattini produced objects of singular fascination.
