A striking pair of sculptural birds from italy, dating to the 1960s. These expressive modernist pieces reflect the experimental spirit of post-war italian metal design, where craftsmanship and artistic form merged into functional sculpture. Aesthetic and functionality standing gracefully on slender legs with detailed claw feet, each candlestick features a polished spherical body topped by an architectural cage element with a suspended bell. The elongated proportions and refined metalwork create a strong vertical presence, making them both candleholders and sculptural statement objects. Their reflective silvered surface enhances light and surroundings, giving them a dynamic presence in both contemporary and eclectic interiors. Specifications dimensions: h 63 cm, b 23 cm, d 26 cm material: polished silvered metal color: silver style: italian modernist / sculptural design origin: italy, 1960s condition: very good vintage condition with minor signs of age consistent with use
