Gilded Bronze Candlestick - Georges Mathias For Fondica - Circa 1980
Sculptural ormolu candlestick by Georges Mathias for Fondica, characteristic of organic, expressive work from the second half of the 20th century.
The piece features a loose vertical composition, evoking a stylized plant or coral form. The shaft unfolds in successive excrescences with sinuous, dynamic lines, creating a particularly vibrant interplay of shadows and reliefs.
The tripod base, widely expanded, ensures stability while extending this biomorphic aesthetic.
The gilding has a depth and brilliance that magnifies the asperities of the bronze.
This is a piece of character, at once primitive and extremely refined.
