Each side is decorated with a series of deeply impressed, concentric curves that sweep across the metal in an almost wave-like pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper surface features a hammered finish surrounding a circular metal receptacle. Its smooth, polished rim provides a deliberate contrast to the heavily worked exterior, while the perforated interior introduces a functional detail within the solid construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe attribution to Angelo Brotto is fitting in the context of Italian Brutalist design. Known for his work across lighting, sculpture, and decorative objects, Brotto explored the expressive possibilities of metal through bold geometric forms, textured surfaces, and contrasting finishes. This approach is reflected in the candleholder's combination of rigid architecture and flowing relief, where the metal itself becomes the primary decorative element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually compelling on a desk, coffee table, or shelf, it reflects a period when even everyday accessories were approached as opportunities for artistic experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold and priced individually.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53548396380471,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/EzoWNutAfPiDqcRAeU26m4nLnGvUNoyHx0bnVyVr_gw.jpg?v=1794580420","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/italian-brutalist-silver-plate-metal-candleholder-attributed-to-angelo-brotto-1960s-2-available","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
