Recently Sean posted a beautiful Scandinavian piece that just had the best lines. Wednesday this week, I had to take 1/2 a day to hang with my girl child as she only had school for a couple of hours. Naturally we went to the thrift. Walking down the aisle of "metal" I spied these copper beauties, and thought of Sean's post. I barely missed a step while swooping them up and handing them to her to carry...she asked how I knew to buy them...sometimes you just know...or want to compete with Sean...
They are not marked. Feeling pretty confident that they are copper but...looking for some other thoughts on these. Thinking 30s.
These are beautiful!!!! LMAO!!!! , THESE STUNNERS!!!
She wants my pitch fork Danish candle holder lol:)!!!!
Sean, any idea of age?
I would say 1980's "MEMPHIS MOVEMENT ERA" :) it looks like a Michael Graves Design as well .
Very nice! Good taste will out!!!
Are these to be mounted on a wall?
Not bad at all will really do the job
These are table candle sticks. I think they are much older than the 80s.
The plot thickens!

they asking $675 for these and they are American and 20th century . MCM ERA , NO COMPANY NAME OR DESIGNER. , These are brass and copper
That is totally bonkers. Thank you for checking but they are insane. Who would pay that??? Hey, they could have mine for 1/2 that if they got out of the asylum :))
Thanks for looking it up, threw me there for a second. Big hug!
big hug to you amber typo please fix!!!!!!
That was a hilarious typo! I recently had someone's name auto corrected from their name to "racist"...thank God I caught it...it was so odd.
Thankyou Amberrose!!! im so trying not to laugh!!!
it was an odd feeling for me !!!!
What a joke that price we had a couple of sets that took up to 4 candles only black & brass wouldn't think of asking that price I meet my partner in the 90's & he had them for quite sometime before that. Some things I have been reading lately seem to go Wright over the top on the way some people carry on. Everyone has a different opinion good to discuss no reason to take to far. disappointing in that I like this site for the information & discussing things but some take it to far
Great abstract design, love them, but I agree. 1stdibs is WAY overpriced with everything they sell!
Very cool. I hope you're well AR xo Happiest of holidays to you and yours
Merry Christmas dear Amber and hope the new year brings more great finds for you and proud to call you friend ,xoxo
Well you are just wonderful person Mani! Peace and Joy to you and yours!
May all your dreams for the New Year come your way & the butter has been washed off the fingers so you get to enjoy the new things you buy all in one piece.
