Brutalist 5-arm Bronze Candlestick By Horst Dalbeck (hdv), Germany, 1960s

Striking Brutalist 5-arm candlestick in solid bronze, designed by Horst Dalbeck and produced in Germany during the 1960s for HDV Metallgießerei.

The organic, tree-like form with five flared tulip cups is typical of Dalbeck’s sculptural approach to everyday objects. Cast in heavy bronze with a textured surface, this piece exemplifies mid-century Brutalist design.
